GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is on the cards with Ric Torachan and Nectaris pushing for the lead ahead of Needless To Say and Mountain Peony. WIN DORATO (2) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Can play a major role. NECTARIS (4) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the mix. UP FELIZ (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but can play a major role. MOUNTAIN PEONY (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix.
