GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Strong early tempo assured from Mikano Venus and Star Glory leading the way over T O Engels. MIKANO VENUS (11) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing second over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. RAINBOW TIARA (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m here. Facing a tougher assignment but she is fitter and up to the task. T O ENGELS (9) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when fifth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. STAR GLORY (7) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1500m at this track last time. Do not underestimate.
