GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Gold Premium leading the way. GOLD PREMIUM (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PINK BLUE (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EL HIERRO (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 12 lengths over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CROWN OCEAN (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
