GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Curren Meramera leading the way. PLEASURE (8) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 4-length win over 1400m at this track. Is going okay in this campaign, recording two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Should be hard to stop. CONTRIBUTOR (2) turned in an eye-catching run over 1300m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Among the top chances. ARDORE (4) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1300m, only a length from the winner. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring three times and placing on three occasions from nine starts. One of the main contenders. CURREN MERAMERA (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1300m at this track. Stick with her on an each-way basis.
