GOING: S

Race 3 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Solid tempo with Costa Dorada possessing the dash to work to the lead. COSTA DORADA (4) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1200m at this track when fresh from a break. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GEMA SOLAR (6) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Trying to repeat her debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Capable of playing a major role. GOLDEN STATE (2) resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Solid top-three hope. MAD BLUE EYE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when eighth in a 1200m contest at this track four weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
