GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Love And Hope leading the way. TOMOE (8) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. NEVERLANDREAM (3) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. SEUL ET PATRIOTE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1580m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. LOVE AND HOPE (2) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1580m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.

The start before that settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at this track on March 31 over 1580m, 12 len behind Propiedad carrying 57kg at $97.20. Rather invest elsewhere.
