GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Aiyana should find the front with Meiner Alauda and Ashaka Dumey on her heels. SUNRISE GUTS (5) will be fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing second over 1400m at this track last time. Sure to measure up again. MAMI EMI MOMOTARO (8) impressed last time with a 6-length win at this track over this journey. Has a solid record here at the distance with five wins and three placings from 11 tries. Leading contender. ASHAKA DUMEY (3) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Will be in this for a long way. ASTRUD (12) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
