GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Renovatio to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. RENOVATIO (3) is a 14-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. AINO VALKYRIE (1) is racing well and has registered five minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track after being in contention all the way. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. TAKAMAKI SIX (9) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. CONTI NUTS (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
