GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Lien Solide has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MEISHO KOROGI (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on 30/10/2024, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1700m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove hard to hold out. IZA ONE (1) could only manage 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. LIEN SOLIDE (9) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. LUCKY PROOF (4) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten a head, at this track over 1400m. Settles back early but winds up late. Solid claims on best form.
