GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Interlude and Queen Of Lily to take up the running at a genuine tempo. T K SONA SAPO (6) is a 14-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COSMO TAISHI (8) performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.1 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. QUEEN OF LILY (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed and looks a chance. JUNE QUEST (9) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can feature.
