GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Amore Sunrise, Scented Jewel and Scene De Neige ahead of Marenka. AMORE SUNRISE (8) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 9 lengths. Shaping up nicely and she looks certain to measure up again. MARENKA (6) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by half a length over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. SALSA ROMANTICA (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Look for an improved run. SCENTED JEWEL (7) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
