GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Pace will be genuine with Kalaunu pressing forward to challenge Come On Baby kicking up on the inside. KALAUNU (12) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being in contention all the way. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DERMA OBERON (9) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Will drift back but is going to be hard to hold out. COME ON BABY (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BLEU CHATEAU (5) was beaten 5.5 lengths into 11th over 1500m at this track last time out. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
