Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Zembu Mamanosei and Glinda matching motors. ASTAEQUUS (8) was well beaten in tougher company two back then was better placed last time and finished second over 1300m. Rates highly and will be hard to beat on the latest effort. PREMIUM HONEY (6) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m here. Nicely placed to find winning ways. CIEL RUBY (10) is yet to break through after six starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can measure up. ZEMBU MAMANOSEI (9) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 900m at this track, beaten one length. Key runner.
