GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Anticipate Miss Richard, Eyes On Me and Sun Nerine to set a strong tempo. LOVE KAHIRU (5) finished 15th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 900m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SUN NERINE (10) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KEY NICE (6) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length after being prominent at the bend over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. EYES ON ME (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Expected to be in the finish.
