GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace with Rapunzel Moon and Pinnacle Point battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. PINNACLE POINT (1) found the frame when second at this track latest after setting the tempo throughout. Tackles similar class here and rates highly on best. Expected to go close. PIENA FELICE (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over this track and trip, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHO GENKI (7) finished fourth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. QUICK QUEEN (8) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
