GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Huzhao, Yamanin La Vera and Muso in advance of Lovely Sign and Re Go To. LOVELY SIGN (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1230m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Nicely placed to take this out. LORD SHAMAL (3) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 22 lengths into eighth. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. YAMANIN LA VERA (9) was a determined winner two runs back then raced on the speed last time before finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Should be involved in the finish. MAGICAL FACE (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 5 lengths away in fifth over 1230m at this track. In the mix.
