GOING: G

Race 12 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Not expecting them to go too hard. KITASAN UNISON (1) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and can break through. KYOWA RAY HOPE (6) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, finishing sixth. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time. HAPPY TIME (8) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FORTUNATE (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance eight months ago over 1600m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
