GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good tempo anticipated with Purpose Point and Jewelry Memory leading the way. DOCTOR SAKURA (6) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 4 lengths back in seventh. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CONVEX (8) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. JEWELRY MEMORY (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRETTY PUNK (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Rates well on best figures and is worth including.
