GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Agnes Shu to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MILD CORSA (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins and three placings. Can go on with it. KEVALA (8) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1700m at this track at his latest appearance. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. AGNES SHU (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from five runs. Can feature again. SAYONO HAPPY (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 3.5 lengths from the winner. Has solid form at this track with five wins and 13 minor placings from 35 starts. Everything points to a big run.
