GOING: G

Race 12 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Lonely Planet and Brightia Anna leading the charge. LOVE SICK BOSSA (6) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has been thereabouts without winning and gets his chance to break through. CARNIVAL MARCH (5) lifted strongly to score last time with 0.8 lengths to spare over 1500m at this track, making it three in a row. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including seven wins. Leading contender. LONELY PLANET (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $1.90. Likely improver with strong prospects. TATSUNO SPARK (3) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track when seventh. Look for an improved run here.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 10 at Kawasaki on September 6 over 1600m, 10 len behind Michael Maximus with 56kg at $6.60. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Urawa on October 24 over 2000m, 9 len behind Raipachi carrying 56kg at $18.10. Draws well but predicted to struggle.
