Race 4 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace strong with Tempest Heroine and Lot Emperor leading with Lot Fighter nearby. LOT FIGHTER (1) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. LOT EMPEROR (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Has a strong record here at this journey. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. TEMPEST HEROINE (4) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. ORO BLANCO (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
