GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Garo probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. NOBU AND WHITE (7) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Strong winning chance. SMART RAVE (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 32 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. A SHIN BIRMAN (10) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CADFAEL (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Can turn things around.
