GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Lilienfeld has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. EL HIERRO (9) was allowed to drift back from a wide draw last time out then found the line strongly to grab third over 1400m at this track. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and three minor placings from six runs. Could prove tough to stop. LILIENFELD (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m here. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. MARENKA (2) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ANNABELLE DIAMANTE (3) is a four-year-old entire yet to find the frame after six runs. Safely held when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth. Strips fitter and should be right in the mix.
