GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Ripening leading the way. RIPENING (9) scored by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Hard to knock form at this course having never missed the frame including two wins and a placing. One of the major players. COSMO CONQUEST (3) ran a strong race last time out over 1600m here, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has his share of talent and is hard to beat in this suitable race. REGINA TIARA (8) is a maiden with seven minor placings to her name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in eighth over 1600m at this circuit. Has a good record when second-up and has solid top-three prospects. NEO ETOILEE (4) finished 13th over 1600m at this venue at her most recent appearance on December 31. Is much better than that and is sure to make her presence felt.
