GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. ESPELHAR (10) honest entire who has a top-three strike rate of almost 50%. Good effort when third last start at this track over 1400m. Extra journey a plus and can find winning form this time. TIERRA SUNRISE (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1600m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. SPRING MOON (2) settled well back last start and made little impact in the straight when eighth over this journey at this track after a win at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is good enough to make amends. FLEUVE (6) won two times earlier on in her prep, most recently finished fifth beaten 3.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Her best is good enough.
