GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Love Me Monica and Kokoro Odoru will likely set the pace. THREE HELIOS (6) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. HEART'S KELLY (8) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1400m at this track. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. LOVE ME MONICA (7) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KOKORO ODORU (9) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
