GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Pikku Prinssi, Erika Margherita and Bellagio Haruka vying for the lead with Z Silvia on their backs. Z SILVIA (7) scored an impressive win by 7 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Set to make it two-for-two this prep. ERIKA MARGHERITA (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. BELLAGIO HARUKA (3) went forward from the low draw last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. PIKKU PRINSSI (6) finished third last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
