GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Expecting I'll Louise to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. I'LL LOUISE (14) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track ten months ago and has not appeared since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. THE GOAT (9) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FAIRY MAIA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. HANA HIRAKU (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
