Race 10 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace a scorcher, headed by Sky Peace, Candleberry and Felsite, closely followed by Positive Spin and Adamas Minoru. POSITIVE SPIN (2) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. CANDLEBERRY (7) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing third over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Ryo Takamatsu is a key engagement. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. SKY PEACE (3) was in the firing line on the corner but turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1400m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. PRETTY KISS (5) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the dying stages. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from nine starts. Can figure in the outcome.
