GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Pachira Sweet, Scera Venus and Kawaten Tiara leading the way. KAWATEN TIARA (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has three wins here. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. MEME ECLAT (4) proved too strong last start and scored by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and four placings. Winning hope again. SCERA VENUS (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten a neck. No excuses from this draw; in the mix. PACHIRA SWEET (5) was prominent at the corner but turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1500m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
