GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Wide Kaiserin and Margot Minimo. MY MOMENT (6) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track over 1800m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now and expected to be in the finish. KURA WAR (11) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 1600m here. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from six starts. Leading player again. MARGOT MINIMO (10) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this circuit, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $5.20. Nicely placed to turn things around. NINLIL (2) was sent out at $74.80 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1200m at this venue. Should be poised just off the lead and deserves respect on best figures.
