GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Momo Royal and Shuffle Girl to take up the running at a strong tempo. MOMO ROYAL (12) is back from a break of five months. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at this track over 1400m. Form here at this journey is very good with four wins from seven runs. Leading contender. SHUFFLE GIRL (7) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at this track over 1230m on November 28. Expect her to play a major role fresh. SCINTILLENT (3) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. SIGN POLE (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing tenth. Can feature in this suitable contest.
