GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Little early speed means Her Lovely and Maemae will find themselves in leading roles. CROSS AVANCE (4) has recorded two minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1400m at this track. Gets her chance to break through. YOSSHA (9) did his best work late to finish third at his latest appearance at this track over 1400m. Good signs last time and is worth including. MAEMAE (3) lines up for the first time since June 27. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and three placings from eight runs. Definite top-three chance. HER LOVELY (6) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten one length, over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and worth including in all combinations.
