GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Smart Sierra, Passion Diva and Tabezakari to take up the running at a strong tempo. EARL OF KENT (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. BALEARIC SEA (4) is in top form, most recently recording a win by one length over 1500m at this track to make it two in succession. Can measure up again. TABEZAKARI (12) fought on well for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should be in the finish again. PASSION DIVA (10) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Fitter and has top-three prospects.
