GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Estrella and Iks Clover will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. GOOD ROMANCE (10) followed a good first-up win here with a solid second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. ESTRELLA (7) lines up for the first time since October 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PURE KISHO (1) was always well out of his ground when eighth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Can feature in this suitable race. AMELITA (5) missed the frame when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track after a win at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
