GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Luna Teeth, July First and Espanola. FELIZ NAVIDAD (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 1500m at this track last time, getting there by 5 lengths. Looks well placed and can go well again. SUGAR PRINCESS (12) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1500m at this track, beaten a neck. On her best form she is one of the chief contenders. BLACK RARIA (11) finished second last time over 1500m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance and can feature. JULY FIRST (3) finished third two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track on March 25 over 1500m, neck behind Ay Oh with 54kg at $6.20. The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 3rd of 12 at this track on March 12 over 1500m, 2.25 len behind Makoto Amuleto with 54kg at $6.30. Rates highly after a strong run last time.
