GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Virtual Idol and Esplanade leading the way. G T REINA (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1300m at this track at her latest appearance. Further improvement in store. ESPLANADE (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VIRTUAL IDOL (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1300m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. RAIN CHECK (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
