GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, Stella Matutina and Zenno Sovereign will likely set the pace. ZENNO SOVEREIGN (6) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Big run is on the cards. BLACK SOUTHER (1) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. ENUMA ELISH (7) drifted back and never got into the race when eighth last start over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement. MINATONO SOTA (8) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m here. Best figures measure up and deserves another chance.
