GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Ailes D'espoir leading the way. WIDE ORDEN (10) is high on confidence after scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track last time out. Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Tough to beat again. AILES D'ESPOIR (8) closed last prep three-and-a-half months ago when she finished second over 1230m at this track. Leading player. NORI WOOD TAIL (4) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In the right race and is a winning hope. YUNA PO (2) could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track buut is among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
