GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Will Dusk and Mikiyo Wood Tail leading the charge. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (5) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fourth over 820m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. WILL DUSK (11) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth last time over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Could prove tough to beat. CHOPASNI (7) ran a better race last time at her second career start when second over 1400m at this track. Can improve further and should be in the finish. LILY HEART (3) could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 820m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
