GOING:

Race 10 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo primarily from Kfir and Gold Snow. KFIR (4) built on a nice second two starts back with success as favourite over 1700m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. GOLD SNOW (5) is coming off a last-start sixth over 1700m at this track. Has a sound record here and can feature. SEI VALIANT (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. The engagement of Tatsuya Watanabe is a positive move and another big run will not surprise. FEEDBACK (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track. Should figure in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track on January 17 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Eight Wan carrying 55kg at $21.80. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at this track on January 6 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Ultimate Saga with 56kg at $21.70. Forward showing expected.

Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on January 4 over 1700m, 8 len behind Kfir carrying 54kg at $10.80. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track on December 19 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Seven Colors carrying 54kg at $8. Capable of more – worth another chance.
