GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Eiyu Sabrina leading the way. PANTS TAISHO (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MEINER COURONNE (1) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Worth another chance. LIENJOUX (10) was strongly fancied when second last time over 1500m at this track after being well positioned to strike on the bend. Sure to be competitive. EIYU SABRINA (8) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
