GOING: G

Race 2 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace from Enterprise, Amrta and Porta Felice, with Kurino Novae and Ppallika on their heels. AMRTA (6) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Credentials are hard to fault and she looks poised to strike now. HELL OF A RIDE (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in third over 1400m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. FAINT LIGHT (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she looks sure to be in the mix. KURINO NOVAE (3) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1400m at this track. Big run is expected.
