GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Angel Snow taking charge. DERMA ATMAN (3) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Major player. ANGEL SNOW (5) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when third over 1300m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. MEISHO OKIBI (6) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last start over 1600m here after a good first-up win at this track. Perfectly placed to make amends. FEARLESS HEART (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
