GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Pomme Verte leading the way. EMINENCE ROSE (1) missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run. MIND MY WORDS (5) was out of the money last start over 1750m at this track, finishing eighth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LITTLE IDOL (9) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth. Nicely placed to take this out. SOUTHERN FIELD (2) was sixth in a 1750m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the mix.
