GOING: S

Race 10 1500m

Track: SOFT     True  

Live Garnet to take charge ahead of Violento Azul at a good tempo. LIVE GARNET (8) got home by a head last time out over 1500m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and seven placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. SIENA CROWN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. FELICIDADE (6) did her best work late to finish second at very long odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1500m. Good signs last time and is capable of another bold performance. BATTLE HOPPER (7) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1500m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
