GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Ric Noir should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. CORNICHE (6) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing sixth over 1400m at this track last time. Can break through in this suitable contest. CONVEX (8) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at this track over 800m, beaten 7 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. RIC RIBBON (7) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. RIC NOIR (2) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
