GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Lazulite Sana should find the front with Erika Elegante and Dazzling Ice on her heels. ORENO SUGOWAZA (4) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. BIO SAPPHIRE (8) is yet to break through. Finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on March 25. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. ERIKA ELEGANTE (3) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when ninth. Draws ideally and worth another chance. SUNNY R (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix.
