Tactical given the lack of speed. Tough race to assess with a lack of talent on display. AFFIRMATIVE (6) looks the pick of a thin bunch. Was met with solid market support here last time but struggled to get involved. Gets in light at the weights and strikes a much easier assignment. Serious chance this time around. SHU LUA (4) has been thereabouts in his first three runs without threatening. Strips fitter and gets his chance to play a more prominent role in this thin contest. LA LA VITESSE (3) didn't fire a shot debut despite being in the market. Willing to give another chance with that run under the belt. GROSS FREUDE (2) next best.

Sakai Shinobu 2YO DK B COLT 55.0KG At debut, second last of 7 at this track on November 21 over 1400m, 39 len behind Basque Region carrying 55kg at $8.40. Sure to kick on with that run under the belt. |
