GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. ROCKET BODY (5) has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ARCHIE TESORO (9) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 6 lengths at this track over 1400m. Should measure up again. NISHINO KIYOHA (11) broke through for her maiden win over 900m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Tricky draw to overcome but she is a solid top-three hope. PYTHON (10) ran a better race last start, finishing 8 lengths away in fourth over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
