GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Coconut Garden finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LOVELY LUCIA (8) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Takayuki Yano stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. HENNINGSEN (4) went forward last start over 1600m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. BARREL (7) started at $6.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth at this track over 1400m. Can atone. COCONUT GARDEN (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when 11th over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back.
