GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Pace strong from Alfino and Dene vying for the lead closely attended by Lucky Clover. DENE (9) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Is going well this campaign, recording three wins from five starts. Bold showing expected. LUCKY CLOVER (3) is back after a break of four months. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. ALFINO (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be competitive. HIRARI (7) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when 12th over 1500m at this track. Can figure here.
