GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Rapunzel Moon and Injection taking up the running over Economica. NARITA SERENO (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. INJECTION (2) fought on well to finish second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CRIMSON RED (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 30 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. JETTY (8) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so he can be prominent again.
