GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Neo Ciel and Mo Mo Red taking up the running over T M Fonte. NEO CIEL (7) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in four runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1300m. Can measure up again. T M FONTE (4) improved last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten a nose after being in the firing line on the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MO MO RED (5) is back at the races for the first time since October 20. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Definite top-three chance. MIYANO WOODLEY (9) was in the placings again last time when second over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and can feature.
