GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Shabby Chic probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. WIND ARIEL (9) missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 900m at this track, finishing fifth. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. ARISTOLOCHE (3) missed the placings when eighth over 1500m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and four minor placings and can feature. SOUL PROUD (5) was out of the money last start over 1500m at this track, finishing fifth. One of the leading chances. VERONIQUE (8) has been out of the money recently but finds the right race this time and gets her chance to feature.
