GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Piena Felice booting up to lead. PIENA FELICE (1) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Taking on a better line-up this time but she can get the job done. NINKARI (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the bend as public elect over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she can win again. VIGOR SUNRISE (12) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when sixth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRECIOUS STONE (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 19 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
