GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Eukleia and Legend possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. PILINA MAANA (9) started at $3.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VASCULARITY (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five outings. Sure to go well again. LEGEND (6) started at $6.20 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. JASMIN (8) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2200m at this track, finishing 10 lengths back in eighth. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
