GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Engel probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. UWASANO MOANA (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. FUKU FORMOSA (12) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ENGEL (4) is still a maiden after seven runs. Was popular in betting last time out but after being in the firing line on the corner didn't live up to market expectations, finishing sixth over 1500m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. NOBLE HUNTER (10) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fourth over 1500m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
