GOING:

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Fractal to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. FRACTAL (11) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Big chance once again. MIYANO QUINLEY (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LILY BENNETT (9) finished 9 lengths away in sixth last time out over 900m at this track eight days ago. Steps up in distance today. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. IKENO ASACHAN (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
