GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Arial Black and Speed Yellow leading the way. ARIAL BLACK (6) held on well to finish second last time out over 1300m at this track after leading for much of the way. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. NAMURA IRIS (3) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1600m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. SPEED YELLOW (2) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four starts. One to consider. CINDERELLA SMILE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. In the mix.
