GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Three Rosemary leading the way. ABENDSONNE (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and five minor placings from 11 outings. Sure to go well again. KELPIE (9) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Going up a level this time but he can get the job done. THREE ROSEMARY (4) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led throughout to score by a head over 1400m at this track. Masashi Ueda who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. DAORADAORA (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish.
