GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. ANGEL MOMO (1) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track when sixth. Great chance to feature. DREAM CHASER (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed to make a big impression. RYUNO TSUKAI (12) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish sixth. Drawn out again but finds a suitable race and can feature. TOP THE SMILE (8) finished fifth last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Can do much better here.
