GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. FESTIVE FREE (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. AVANZA YUKI (7) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUKURIRI (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 800m. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. VERVENA (6) finished eighth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
