GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Cameron Tesoro and Caught Parfait will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. MAN OF GRIT (10) was an effortless winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 30 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from eight starts. The one to beat. CAUGHT PARFAIT (4) finished seventh over 1400m at this track at her most recent appearance on July 22. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MELLIEHA BAY (3) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and only beaten a neck. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. A SHIN NUE (11) turned in a better run last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in the frame.
