GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Pirkar Kina leading from Kastrom Petra and Piena Leon. PIRKAR KINA (7) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1400m after being prominent at the corner. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. KASTROM PETRA (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. PIENA LEON (2) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 4 lengths. Handy draw will assist and she cannot be underestimated. AOI MAKOTO (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Well placed to make amends.
