GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Beauty Honey, Neo Abby and Festive Nonno in advance of Morphe Bouquet and Ashram. ASHRAM (7) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 6 over 1400m when he scored by a neck. Winning rider Shizuo Oki retains the mount. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. CLEAN SLATE (3) had been in great form, winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1500m at this track. Has a strong record at this course and can bounce straight back. BEAUTY HONEY (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on her rivals. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from eight runs and should be involved in the finish again. NEO ABBY (4) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
