GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Feather Sky probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. MARENKA (9) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. FEATHER SKY (5) is a 11-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1230m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. ROYAL HOJARI (1) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FEEL MY HEAVEN (7) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1700m at this track but she has the talent to test this line-up.
