GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Annina, Handen Laurier and Starry Song paving the way. HANDEN LAURIER (11) went fast early and went on to score by 5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. NOBLE LINER (2) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANNINA (12) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SATIN BODICE (10) was a winner over 1400m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Can figure in the finish.
