GOING:

Race 1 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Ortu Solis leading the way. HO O MINISTER (1) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found a couple better over 1200m at this track. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. VINYL (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GRANDE DIVA (7) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she settled well back when sixth over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DALLAS FOUNTAIN (5) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Noboru Tamai. Finished ninth at this track over 1200m at the opening run last time in work.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 9 at this track on October 31 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Thunder Barows carrying 54kg at $1.90. Likely to kick on following that last outing.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation ran last of 9 at this track on July 22 over 1200m, 16 len behind Maple Mitchan with 56kg at $24.70. When resuming last campaign ran last in a small field at this track on June 22 2023 over 1500m, 41 len behind Hraunfossar carrying 54kg at $59.60. Look for a bold run.

Second-up 6th of 9 at this track on October 31 over 1200m, 15 len behind Thunder Barows with 54kg at $20.50. Should be right in the finish.

Went for a break before returning ran last of 9 at this track on October 31 over 1200m, 32 len behind Thunder Barows carrying 55kg at $8.60. Worth another chance.
