GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Momo Royal, Smart Rave and Feather Sky battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. MOMO ROYAL (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score very easily last time out over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level, but she is good enough to take the next step immediately. SMART RAVE (6) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Expect her to play a major role. ELEGANT FLEUR (5) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 3.5 lengths. Shaping up nicely, and she is right in the mix again. FEATHER SKY (10) did well to score two runs ago, then turned in a nice effort last time out when second over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. Stick with him.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; scored a big 9 len win at this track May 21 over 1400m defeating Imagine Lennon with 55kg at $1.60. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track on May 7 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Long Seller Ask with 55kg at $2.10. Draws the fence and is a top chance.
