GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Papita, Promising Gal and Esta Bonito matching motors ahead of Jun Firenze. PAPITA (1) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. ESTA BONITO (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1700m at this circuit after being in the firing line all the way. Has good early pace and is nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PROMISING GAL (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. SCORE (7) improved sharply last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
