GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Epic Day. HANDEN LAURIER (6) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was in the firing line all the way over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. EPIC DAY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when sixth in a 1400m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BILLOWY DADA (7) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Should be at his peak now. YUIGAHAMA BEACH (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1400m after being prominent until the final stages. Can turn things around.
