GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Snowday leading the way. SNOWDAY (9) was a winner two starts back at this track then narrowly missed a repeat last start when second over 1400m at this track. Likely to feature again. LOVERS' TIFF (7) returned from a spell and was safely held when seventh over 1400m at this track. Fitter and in the mix. LAC PUER (5) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Should be competitive. MITOLOGIA (4) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.1 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
