GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Angel Slap should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. PURGATORIO (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RYUKO (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when seventh in a 1500m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ANGEL SLAP (4) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 13 lengths from the winner in tenth at this course and distance. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. SONO PAZZA DI TE (3) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish eighth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Among the chances.
