GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Not much early speed of note and Keep Adorable and Livre Wonder may find themselves setting a steady tempo. LIVRE WONDER (7) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by a neck over 1200m at this track. Can feature in the finish again. XIAO YI XIAO (6) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing fifth over 1200m. Fitter and plenty of improvement to come. KEEP ADORABLE (8) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance four months ago. Makes plenty of appeal fresh. SEI DANCING (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
