GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Cafe No Wien to take charge ahead of Fraises Tarte at a good tempo. OMI TEMPEST (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Top chance this time. CAFE NO WIEN (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Strong performer at the third run back from a spell with a win and three minor placings from five appearances. One of the top chances again. COMPOUNDER (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEINER JULIAN (6) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 900m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Capable of another top-three outcome.
