GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Meijo Solid probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. WELLMINED (1) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. MAGICAL PRINCE (6) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 14 lengths away in ninth over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. MIKKI EAGLE (7) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Sure to be competitive, and a top 3 finish is likely this time. MEIJO SOLID (2) ran seventh at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. A good draw should see her either in front or just behind the pace. If her mind is on the job, she can bounce straight back into the money.
