GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Blue Trailer and Miss Katharine up front, pressured by Solemn Parade and Mar Dorado. BELOVED WITCH (1) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Top chance. BLUE TRAILER (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at this track. Will be looking to cross and steady the tempo. Masayoshi Aoyagi who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Fitter and is expected to feature. WONDERFUL GUY (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $9. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISS KATHARINE (4) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on July 27 over 1500m, 3 len behind Jamboree Queen with 55kg at $8.10. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside gate.
