Race 8 1230m

Track:      

A keen contest with Pure Chemistry and Eze Village leading from Gamila's Jackson. PURE CHEMISTRY (8) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1230m at this track after she was in the firing line on the turn. In the right race and is a key runner. EZE VILLAGE (9) impressed last time with a 9 length win at this track over this journey. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best form puts her right in this. CANDY LEI (5) is yet to break through in 11 runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1230m at this track on April 22. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. GOLD MIRE (10) turned in a modest performance when third last start over 1230m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
