GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Rio Sara, Lord Twilight and Luscious will not hold back as they vie for the lead from True Grit and A Shin Nectar. RIO SARA (2) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 3 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins from seven outings. Big chance once again. A SHIN NECTAR (5) finished fourth last start over 1600m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be handy in the run and could prove hard to run down. LUSCIOUS (9) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is right in contention. ORENTANO (1) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Rates a chance in this field.
