GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Angel Star from her wide draw. NAC GRANDE (11) was narrowly beaten last time when well in the market over 1400m at this track, finishing just a head from the winner in second. Expected to feature prominently again. ANGEL STAR (10) displayed plenty of early toe over 1300m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by a neck. Likely to press forward from wide out and expect another big run. CHESTER (8) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1300m at this track. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. GOLDEN THUNDER (3) struggled on the tougher circuit two back then last time appreciated the drop in grade when he bounced back and saluted at this track. Major player.
