GOING:

Race 10 920m

Track:      

Plenty of speed from Bright Phantom and Golden Ring. BRIGHT PHANTOM (5) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 920m at this track on January 16. Has a strong record here at this journey and should be in the finish. GOLDEN RING (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much-improved run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. JASPER NOIR (10) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Can do a lot better. STEEL ACTOR (1) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
