Strong tempo from Sand Empress, Rapida Nina and Asaka Love Love. Sand Empress, Rapida Nina and Asaka Love Love can set a strong tempo. RAPIDA NINA (2) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Nicely placed to bounce back. FOUR W D (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1230m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. SAND EMPRESS (1) was below her best last time, finishing sixth over 1700m at this track. Look for an improved run here. ASAKA LOVE LOVE (4) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 820m at this track. Can make her presence felt.
