GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Esplanade probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. ESPLANADE (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should be handy in the run. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. IZU JO REINAS (10) hasn't been far away of late, last start beaten 3 lengths into fifth at this course and distance. Could measure up in this suitable race. EULACHACHA (2) improved last start to finish third at this course and distance. Best figures measure up. Likely to run well. LOVE KO (4) recorded a third successive placing when she fought on for third last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Could give this a mighty shake.
