GOING:

Race 2 1300m

Track:      

Way Ahead should spear straight to the front of the small field. WAY AHEAD (7) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1400m. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. BLIZZARD CAT (3) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track over 800m, beaten 6 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. YUYU CERVEZA (2) stepped out on her debut over 800m at this track four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Should go well here. DAIBA MAAYA (5) turned in a moderate debut over 800m at this track on May 25 when she was safely held in sixth, 9 lengths from the winner. Plenty of scope for improvement. One of the hopes.
