GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Pace should be on from the outset with Zephyr Barows, B B Pickett and Corpse Reviver going hard, closely attended by Ritmico. RITMICO (5) was leading on the turn and fought on well to finish third over 1500m at this track at her latest appearance. Form here over today's trip is very good with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Winning rider Makoto Okabe sticks. Sure to run well. B B PICKETT (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 920m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ZEPHYR BAROWS (1) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CRYPTIC CODE (9) could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Sonoda. Look for an improved run here.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on January 17 over 1400m, 7 len behind Water Are carrying 56kg at $1.70. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track on December 20 over 1500m, 1.3 len behind Jako Musubi carrying 56kg at $2.30. Worth following up.

Useful type. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at this track on January 16 over 1500m, 2 len behind Norisan Black carrying 54kg at $12.10. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 10 at this track on January 4 over 1500m, 6 len behind Alluring Sorrel carrying 54kg at $9.80. Strong winning hope.

Racing well. Most recently made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on January 6 over 920m, 4.5 len behind Oidemese with 54kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track December 4 over 1500m defeating Ambassador carrying 54kg at $7.70. Definite chance.
