GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Coin A Phrase and Ala Moana pressing for the lead with Epic Day and Kakogan close at hand. ALA MOANA (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KAKOGAN (1) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 2 lengths. Great chance to atone. SIENA KING (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GRAND ROSE (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Can make amends.
