GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Das Orchester to take up the running with Diaphanes and Nyankinese close at hand. ISABELLA SUNRISE (1) started favourite last time out over 1400m at this track but found one better, making it three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Has been thereabouts without winning and looks the testing material. NYANKINESE (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. DAS ORCHESTER (3) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fifth over 1500m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Capable of testing this field. DIAPHANES (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners.
