GOING: G

Race 10 1600m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Golden Mic and Bari Flavor kicking up to hold out the next wave. GOLDEN MIC (4) is back at the races for the first time since November 19. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1500m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. BARI FLAVOR (3) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths away in second last time over 1600m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Among the leading chances. CHA PRI (10) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Hakodate Dirt over 1700m when first-up last time in work. Sound top-three prospects. SAINT REGALO (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in fifth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
