GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Blue Applause leading the way. BLUE APPLAUSE (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 10 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a break last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AMIFUJI MOANA (1) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from four starts this prep. Produced another good effort at her most recent run when third over 1400m at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GORDIAN KNOT (8) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1400m. Ready to go one better. LIEN FORT (7) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Likely to be thereabouts.
