GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with T O Personal leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SUN BRIDGE (7) put the writing on the wall last start when she was handy all the way and was beaten just a neck into second over 820m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. T O PERSONAL (2) missed the placings last start when fifth over 820m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SIENA DANCE (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $4.80. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. A SHIN DRYAD (3) produced a better run last start at the second run of the campaign when fourth over 820m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
