GOING:

Race 7 820m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Babe taking charge. HINATA LADY (7) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 820m at this track. Can make it back-to-back wins. BABE (6) was quickly into stride over 820m at this track last time and went on to score by 2.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to take this out. DID IT (9) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1400m here. Finds a suitable race and can bounce straight back. VELENOSI (5) improved last start to finish second over 820m at this track. Top-three prospect.
