GOING: S

Race 2 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Strong tempo assured from Ruby Princess and Anela Kaikamahine leading the charge. INTO YOU (8) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by a neck over today's journey at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this trip. Expected to measure up. RUBY PRINCESS (7) finished fourth last start over 1200m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will take some beating. ANELA KAIKAMAHINE (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in eighth over 1200m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. HOLY CAT (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
