GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Contango is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. LEON PRIME (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 2000m after being in contention all the way. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AIR BIG MOM (1) went forward from the low draw last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish third over 2000m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. CONTANGO (8) ran below expectations last time at Kokura, finishing eighth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at $3.10. Nicely placed to turn things around. AS YOU LIKE (18) produced another moderate effort last start when 4 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1800m at Kokura. Nicely placed to find some form.
