GOING:

Race 12 1500m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. BIG PIQUANTE (8) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1500m. Rates highly in this line up and can improve. FAINT LIGHT (1) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SIGNATORY (10) jumped from wide out last time out when safely held over this track and trip. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. UP MEIHIME (7) was unplaced last start over 1500m at this track. Better placed this time.
