GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Destiny Hope to take up the running with Minimal Design and Comune close at hand. MINIMAL DESIGN (7) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. DESTINY HOPE (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. YUZUNOKI (2) was below her best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. PROMISING GAL (8) is nearing a win after placing at her past three starts, including a second at this track most recently. Big chance on her best form.
