GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with A Shin Taverna heading them off. A SHIN TAVERNA (6) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. VILA ISABEL (3) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into third over 1300m at this track. Can play a major role. DWELL SEIRA (7) is backing up 10 days after finishing second over 1300m at this track. Nice run last time and has solid top-three prospects. COASTAL TOWN (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well again.
