GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Persona finding the front from his low draw. PERSONA (3) returns after a break of three months. Last appeared when successful by half a length at this track over 1700m on March 26. A bright return to the track is anticipated. DEVANCEMENT (5) finished out of the money when seventh over 2000m at this track two weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. TITAN (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 920m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Can feature again. SPARKING BLUE (11) was fourth in a 1700m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the frame.
