GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of speed engaged with Rambutan, Bizantino and Luminous Flux going forward ahead of Loppis and My Home Heroine. LUMINOUS FLUX (8) is back at the races for the first time since December 14. Scored over 1300m at Kochi at the start of last prep. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. RAMBUTAN (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. MY HOME HEROINE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BIZANTINO (11) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last preparation with four consecutive minor placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
