GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Kitokito has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. MAD CRAPS (3) finished out of the money when sixth over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KEN VIOLET (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. PER GASSAN (9) is a five-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m after she did her best work late. Big chance to open her account. OYOME SAMBA (7) missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track when fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
