GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Good early pace headed by Ministry, Empath and Toho Viento, with Facet and Helena Universe in their slipstream. FACET (9) was rewarded with her maiden success last start, scoring by 5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed and she is likely to feature in the finish again. EMPATH (11) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1700m at this track when beaten one length. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best figures should see her run well. KEY FACE (12) finished 8 lengths back in seventh over 1500m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from four runs. Should be involved in the finish. MINISTRY (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Minor place claims.
