GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Meisho Intro and Turn To Best possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. MEISHO INTRO (8) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. VICTORIA LAND (6) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance 11 weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. NOVEL WAY (10) finished fifth at this track and distance at her last appearance 12 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt. LEGAL SPEED (7) resumes in a similar race to her last run 11 weeks ago when fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
