GOING: S

Race 2 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo with Mana Pass, Ruby Princess and Delizia leading the way. GOLDEN OJA (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MANA PASS (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Will take beating. RUBY PRINCESS (12) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Can make her presence felt. DELIZIA (3) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 10 lengths when well supported. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. One of the better hopes.
