GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Into The Flow, Love Love Four and Ankoro to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. ANKORO (8) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 820m at this track. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. LOVE LOVE FOUR (10) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. HAFEN (7) settled well back when ninth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to atone. KANTA WOOD TAIL (9) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when ninth here over 1230m. Anticipating a better run this time.
