GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Ric Noir a potential leader. RIC NOIR (6) was well supported when resuming last start but missed the placings in fourth over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. RIC RIBBON (2) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track over 1400m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. AVANZA YUKI (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into tenth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHROME HEART (5) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
