GOING:

Race 9 1300m

Track:      

Minnie Barows is expected to lead at a strong tempo. COASTAL TERRACE (12) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Include. SHOW VALENCE (2) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1600m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Rates highly and expected to go well. MINNIE BAROWS (10) performed above expectations last time over 1300m at this track, getting the prize by a neck. Has won three races at this course and distance from eight tries. One of the main contenders. MANHATTAN ROAD (9) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
