GOING: S

Race 1 1600m

Track: SOFT      

From the outside draw Kibaru Star spears to the lead and sets a slick tempo. LAMORAK (1) was prominent from the outset when third over 1600m at this track last time out. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Likely to feature. MICHINO SICILIA (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1600m at this track last time out. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. SHOGUN (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to break the run of outs. MIRACULOUS CITY (11) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
