GOING: G

Race 1 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Kitokito to take up the running at a moderate tempo. KITOKITO (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 20 lengths when sixth in a 1200m contest at this track a month ago after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BLACK EMPEROR (9) has not raced since his debut on August 30 2024 over 1000m at this track when he finished fifth, beaten 37 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. PARADISE BEAT (7) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1200m at this track on August 31. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. OYOME SAMBA (12) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Has her share of talent and is right in the mix.
