GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Kawakita Orgo finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LILY HEART (4) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and another win looks on the cards. ENGELSPIEL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SKY ACCEL (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. GALBANUM (1) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. In the mix.
