GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Nac Heart's heading them off. NAC HEART'S (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track over 1400m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Great chance to break through. NOTO PHOENIX (4) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third over today's journey at this track. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here. WHITE NILE (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1500m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. DINKY (7) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. Must be included.
