Expecting a moderate tempo with a lack of speed horses engaged. BRIGHTIA MER (5) was always well out of her ground when ninth over 1200m at this track last start. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. YUYU STAR (6) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on December 11 after he was well back on straightening. This offers him a great chance to crack the ice. BIG MEDAGLIA (4) turned in a moderate debut over 1000m at this track on December 12 when she was safely held in sixth. Plenty of scope for improvement. Likely to feature. RAGHUBIR (7) was eighth over 1200m at this track six weeks ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
