GOING:

Race 11 1300m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate tempo with a lack of speed horses engaged. CHOSHUNKA (3) is a four-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent outing over 1300m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. PEACH AVALANCHE (10) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. KEN BRIDGE LUPUS (2) settled towards the rear and failed to make significant inroads in the straight last start when ninth over this course and distance. Has enough talent to get involved. VALBORG (9) was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
