GOING: G

Race 4 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid tempo with Forever Star leading from Shu Nika and To The Cosmo. BLEUE LIBELLULE (5) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Hard to beat. FOREVER STAR (4) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fifth over 1200m at this track last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. BHASTRIKA (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths starting at $3.30. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. CENTRAL GOVERNOR (12) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
