GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Firm Love leading Unico. G G FUN (5) last start finished third over 1400m at this track. Capable enough on her day and is a key runner. FIRM LOVE (7) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing seventh over 1400m at this track last start. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. FACTURA (2) finished second here two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. A SHIN VORAN (4) worth keeping safe.
