GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Off the low draw Chocolate Cake should lead at a genuine tempo. FESTIVE NISA (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Has been in the money three times over this course and distance and his best form puts him right in this. CHOCOLATE CAKE (2) met with solid support last start over 1400m here when eighth, beaten 18 lengths. Can bounce back from the low draw. MASANO LILY (11) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1500m at this venue after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. FUKU FORMOSA (8) failed to feature last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1500m at this course. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and shouldn't be underestimated.
