GOING:

Race 11 820m

Track:      

Lune D'amour and Serious Hitter possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. LUNE D'AMOUR (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. SERIOUS HITTER (5) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 820m here after a win at this track the start prior. Expected to be competitive again. CIAO BAMBINA (1) worked home well and finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. IRON FLOWER (4) didn't measure up last time over 1230m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Back in trip and can feature.
