GOING: S

Race 12 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Fast pace with Master Of Life showing out and T's Apex crossing to apply some pressure. MASTER OF LIFE (2) is a progressive four-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1400m at this track on November 5. Unbeaten in two starts when fresh. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed and will prove tough to beat. CHARMANT SIEN (3) finished off last campaign with a win over 1400m at this course. Has a very good first-up record and is a strong winning chance. HONEY TOAST (8) is back at the races for the first time since October 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m here. Looks a strong top-three prospect while fresh. ESPRIT ALADDIN (11) finished third last time over 1400m at this venue, beaten 0.8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
