GOING: S

Race 3 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Gold Talisman and Kitasan Ribbon can be prominent. LINDA POKKE (10) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by a nose over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four starts. Big chance once again. KITASAN RIBBON (7) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 2 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. GREEN FLASH (5) started at $3 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths at this track over 1200m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KIWAMI IMON (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Another forward showing is anticipated.
