GOING:

Race 1 800m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Franschhoek and Autumn Memory will likely set the pace. FRANSCHHOEK (5) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by half a length over 800m at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. BEST FANTASY (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Seigo Tsukamoto stays aboard and she should be in the finish again. FESTIVE FREE (7) ran below expectations last time out, finishing eighth starting at $5.20. Can atone. AUTUMN MEMORY (2) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Look for an improved run.
