GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Winning The Soul to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KAUILA (1) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1300m. Boasts three wins here. Rates highly and should go well. WINNING THE SOUL (8) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Useful type who gets her chance. BURQUEM (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. YUINO SHINOBIASHI (7) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
