GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Iris Barows, Rinno Legend and Daniela Honey in advance of Miss Viking and Latent Roar. RINNO LEGEND (9) improved sharply with a win over 1300m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a neck. One of the chief contenders. LATENT ROAR (6) performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth at the end of 1400m. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. DANIELA HONEY (8) is coming off a last-start fifth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope. VINNARKRONA (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track. Worth including again.
