GOING: G

Race 12 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Snow Candle and Kagayaki Top can be prominent. SNOW CANDLE (13) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Looks a winning chance. MIKKI CHALLENGE (16) settled well back when 22 lengths from the winner in 13th over 1650m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his 12th at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LEGEND WAY (8) didn't fire over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RICKI FAITH (10) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by a nose at this track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought.
