GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Lovely Ship has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MASAHAYA VOSS (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Inside draw will assist and he should be in the finish. LOVELY SHIP (5) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 920m at this track. Won at her only second-up appearance and another big run will not surprise. Z THUNDER (9) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by one length at today's track and distance last start in a much-improved run. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. ZEPHYR AILE (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Going up a level this time but he deserves his chance.
