GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with Bradshaw and Satin Bodice leading the way from Wonder Elpis and Puff Of Wind. SATIN BODICE (2) lifted strongly to get the prize by 7 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Among the leading chances. KEIAI MAUNGA (10) could only manage 14th on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BRADSHAW (6) has been freshened since finishing 6 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Should be involved in the finish. STELLA MARINA (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
