GOING:

Race 10 1230m

Track:      

Karula Factor is the likely leader at a strong tempo. MINACK THEATRE (1) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1230m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. KARULA FACTOR (8) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1230m at this track. Has found a suitable race. T K MOHALA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. The engagement of Shinjo Kaisei is noteworthy. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DIAMOND DUST (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1230m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
