GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Mer has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. DUWA (9) was prominent from the outset when second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has a good record here at this journey and should be prominent again. TRAVOLGENTE (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when second over 1400m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Well placed and has claims. METAL METALLICA (11) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1700m. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw and worth including. NAMURA KITTY (6) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
