GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace with Norinori Brillante, Miso and Microphyllum paving the way. SANO PRE (3) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third here two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1700m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. MICROPHYLLUM (6) last time out scored by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of another big run. NORINORI BRILLANTE (9) is down in grade after finishing sixth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. That effort came after he finished second two starts ago at this track. Can play a big role in the finish. MISO (1) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1700m at this track. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
