GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Daimei Corrida leading the way. DAIMEI CORRIDA (4) is back at the races for the first time since November 9. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. EBANISTA (5) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1200m at this track. Winning chance fresh. STEEL STORM (2) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three chance. SMART ALTAIR (7) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
