GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

Solid pace with Bellagio Pride finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. CAPE AGULHAS (4) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MOZU MASANYAN (1) was well beaten in harder company two back then better placed last time and finished in the money when a one-length second over 1230m. Finds similar grade here and expected to run well again. ATEN SMILE (5) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was in the firing line all the way over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. BELLAGIO PRIDE (3) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
