GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from T M Ere, Meiner Attore and Western Rapida ahead of Loco Lulu Heart's. T M ERE (2) has switched yards since finishing third a week-and-a-half ago over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and expected to go well. WESTERN RAPIDA (12) hasn't found the frame since a first-up win at this track. Could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. In the right race to return to form. LOCO LULU HEART'S (10) ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1500m here. Ready to find winning form. FUKKATSUNO CHIGIRI (3) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1700m at this track. One of the leading chances.
