GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Memory Film to take up the running with Starry Night and Kitano Hikoboshi close at hand. MEMORY FILM (5) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROBUST WARRIOR (4) didn't fire over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. STARRY NIGHT (1) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has to be respected. OKANO LOUISE (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1580m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
