GOING: G

Race 2 1400m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo on the cards with Riko Stechkina leading the way. TOWN HALL (3) is yet to break through in 12 runs but wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track on June 20. Rates highly here on that effort. BELLEEK (6) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Leading contender. RIKO STECHKINA (10) has not appeared since she finished fifth over 1400m at this track on April 9. Definite top-three chance. FEE DES FLEURS (7) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Deserves serious consideration.
