GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Expecting plenty of speed from Llantrisant, Puerta Azul and Jolly Memory from Vannes. LLANTRISANT (4) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Very fit now and a winning chance. PUERTA AZUL (8) ran well below her best last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth at $5.10. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. KIRA KAIDO (3) has not appeared since he finished third over 1400m at this track on November 28. Definite top-three chance. JOLLY MEMORY (1) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1600m at this track last start. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run and can give backers a sight.
