GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Le Vent Sunrise and Cafe No Wien leading the charge. VENOM (4) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. LACIENTE (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CAFE NO WIEN (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out but has her share of talent. HEALING ART (5) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth in a 1400m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
