GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Starry Song leading the way. STARRY SONG (8) lines up for the first time since January 23. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. M O BERRY (1) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. YO WOOD TAIL (4) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. RYU ONE KINZO (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth here. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.

First up last campaign third of 10 at this track October 11 over 1400m, 9 len behind A Shin Temujin with 54kg at $16.40. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
