GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Valencia Snow should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. CHAMPETRE (1) finished 10 lengths behind the winner in 14th over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Goes well at this journey with three wins and two placings from seven starts and is right in this. GLETSCHER (4) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m here. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. JUN PLATINA (10) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this circuit. Fitter and sure to run well. TAU SUAN (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 13th over 1600m at this venue. Placed to advantage so expect a much better run this time.
