GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Unsung Heroine and Kenja up front, pressured by Fairy and Meisho Bell. ACROSS THE SEAS (2) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1200m at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. AMAZING STAR (7) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1400m at this track last time out. Form here at this journey is sound, including three wins. All set to run well. RAS DASHEN (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on her rivals. Another bold showing expected. PAI AIYA (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
