GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Danon Flare leading the way. KINGDOM WINNER (6) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1300m at this track. Ready to find best form again. EVER SUNNY HEART (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. LA INA SHERRY (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and five minor placings. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. DANON FLARE (9) was just fair last time when well held over 1400m at this track but better than that and no surprise to see her in contention.
