GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Only a small field with World Crisis likely to find a comfortable lead. WORLD CRISIS (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at this track when second, beaten one length. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. MOCHA BIMBIN (7) finished third, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. KOJIN KINKI (4) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 13 lengths when tenth over 1200m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. SMILE NAGOMI (1) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 12 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
