GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Iron Overcome to set a strong tempo joined by Yuna Pink Gold pressing on from an outside draw. TAGANO OWL (1) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and trip last start in a nice progression on the first-up run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. CHOPASNI (7) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. IRON OVERCOME (4) showed good early pace over 820m at this track last time and kept going to score by a head. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. YOSHINO RICKEY (2) produced a better run last start, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming led to the turn then faded 5th of 9 at this track on April 22 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Risky Whisky with 57kg at $2. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track May 7 over 1400m defeating Lant carrying 57kg at $2.80. Rates highly. Big chance.
