GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

From the outside gate Sun Piano Sonata can cross and take up the running. SUN PIANO SONATA (12) scored by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track last start. Impeccable record at this course, winning all three starts. Major player. MINIMAL DESIGN (5) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1230m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. IRON MOON (1) showed early speed from an outside draw when fresh from a spell last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 1230m at this track. One of the main contenders. ANYA WAKUWAKU (3) was well beaten in tougher company two back then was better placed last time and finished second over 1230m. Well placed again and in the mix.
