GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Margot Minimo to take up the running with Space Force and Yoshi Ichi close at hand. MARGOT MINIMO (6) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $4.30. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SPACE FORCE (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1700m after being in the firing line all the way. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Yuji Iwahashi. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARINO FORTISSIMO (3) worked home well to grab third at very long odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1800m. Good signs last time and worth consideration. COUTHIE FONG (5) was beaten 6 lengths into ninth over 1700m at this track last time out. No surprise to see her in contention.
