GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Strong pace with Noble Blanca, Rumillion and Cathedral Rock paving the way. NOBLE BLANCA (12) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Not drawn the best but is very effective at this trip and looks the one to beat. ECORO AMORE (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth. On her best form she is one of the key runners. STABILIZER (4) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Better placed and expected to be in the finish. RUMILLION (3) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Should give backers a sight.
