GOING: S

Race 10 1400m

Track: SOFT      

A keen early contest with Katsuwakamaru and Ben Hur leading from Sapphire Sarah. SAPPHIRE SARAH (10) has been in the money at her last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a second over 1600m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this trip from six starts. Must be respected. SAVARIA (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. BEN HUR (2) missed the frame last start in fourth over 1400m at this track. Is up to the challenge. BORA BORA FLAVOR (6) could only manage to finish fifth at this track last time. Fitter for that outing and is a chance to break his maiden status.
