GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Pretty Memory may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. STELLA VERDE (9) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish tenth over 1600m at this track in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. MORNING FUJI (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has never missed the frame second up. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. PARHELION (2) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at this track. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. CHUWA JORDAN (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
