GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Pace looks to be genuine with Viola Dancer and Gold Reverse matching motors in advance of Kitokito and Verrine. GOLD REVERSE (1) scored a dominant victory at this track over 1500m at his latest appearance on November 16. Sure to make his presence felt. KITOKITO (4) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths over 1500m at this track. Finds the right race to break through. DUFTBLUTE (9) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes. VERRINE (7) produced another moderate effort last start when 18 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Well placed to turn things around.
