GOING: S

Race 3 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Certain to be a strong tempo with Baksheesh, Caramia and Earth Gravity leading the charge. BAKSHEESH (2) lines up for the first time since December 1. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Should be hard to stop. MARUKAN PRESTO (14) was prominent through the early and middle stages last time out before fading to finish fifth over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. POND SPRING (10) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 2 lengths at this track over 1200m. Will push forward and is among the chances again. PRECIOUS TOP (11) was prominent into the straight last time but was claimed late to finish 5 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at this track. In the mix.
