GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Sentosa Lady and Konipa will likely set the pace. LIBERIAN GIRL (3) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when sixth over 1300m at this track. Leading prospect. SENTOSA LADY (5) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. KONIPA (9) finished 0.6 lengths away in third last time out at this track. On a seven-day back-up. Nice run last time and is a leading contender. HAPPY GLORY (4) resumed over 1300m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
