GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of pace from Thinking Mojito, Typeface and Tosen Adelaide primarily. TYPEFACE (12) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1500m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. THINKING MOJITO (10) lines up on the back of a 5.5 lengths fifth over 1400m at this track. Should be in the finish. TAMAMO CLOCHE (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MISS RAVE BUMP (6) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Has to be respected.
