GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Bambi Chan may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. KO LANTA (1) raced below her best last time when sixth over 800m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TEXTURE (7) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 800m at this track after leading for much of the way. Expected to be in this for a long way. BAMBI CHAN (8) is a 19-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. KURINO JITTERBUG (3) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 800m at this track on July 20. Worth including in this suitable contest.
