GOING: S

Race 4 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Pod Festa should spear straight to the front of the small field. POD FESTA (5) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track nine weeks ago and has not been produced since. Likely improver who should run well again. MADEMOISELLE ROSE (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 0.8 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Hard to beat. WILL DEADLIFT (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sho Yoshii stays aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. BABY MONSTRE (1) did his best work late and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Likely improver with bright prospects.
