GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. LEONFORTE (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PICCOLINA (5) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Has enough ability to test this field. NOBORI SAKURA (4) is yet to break through in 26 runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on July 22. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. ATHENA PARTHENOS (3) was beaten 13 lengths into seventh at the second run back from a break over 1400m at this track last time out. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
