GOING: Y

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Many of these step out for the first time. Over this journey just a moderate tempo is likely. ANGOLA BLACK (13) is having her first run since showing pace only to find one better on debut over 2000m at this track on January 7. Will be better for that experience so she is going to take some stopping. CANNELLE (3) finished third last time out when resuming over 2200m at this track, making it four career minor placings. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. MEINER MOMENTUM (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 2200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TARTAROS (8) finished third last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
