GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine pace with Kitokito showing out while Junshin Karen will look to cross from an outside gate. JUNSHIN KAREN (12) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths over 1200m. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is perfectly placed to score. PER GASSAN (7) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. KITOKITO (4) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth after being prominent at the bend at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. HOMME BRAVE (11) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 5 lengths, over today's trip at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
