GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Split Cast has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TOUCHIN' ON MY (9) went for a spell after recording her maiden win on December 12 at this track over 1230m. Well placed to pick up where she left off. AREION (4) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when third over 1400m at this track. Racing well and can go on with it here. TEARJERKER (5) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks ready to break through. SPLIT CAST (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing 11th over 820m at this track. Out in distance and can make an impact here.
