GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Highest Rank taking it up with Kimini Meromero and Lovely Disc on her back. SMART MANALIS (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1400m at this track last time out. Top chance. HIGHEST RANK (3) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the talent to find the winners' list. LOVELY DISC (7) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Capable of more. JEWELLERY CHROME (2) finished seventh last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
