GOING: S

Race 9 1000m

Track: SOFT     True  

Nordia and Mahono Kotoba will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. UNA TO LION (8) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1000m at this track. Fair record at this trip with a win and four placings. Will be hard to hold out again. NORDIA (10) finished 16 lengths adrift in 12th last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. FEEL THE CROWN (5) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then missed the placings last time when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1000m at this track. Rates highly and is right in the mix. MIRAGE FLEUR (4) ran very well first up then drifted back and was never a factor last time, beaten 15 lengths into 11th over 1000m at this track. Fitter and can do much better this time.
