GOING: S

Race 4 800m

Track: SOFT     True  

The speedy Preparense should find the front with Caladbolg and Melo Pearl on her heels. PREPARENSE (8) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 800m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. CHACONNE (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner. Should be in the finish. KOTOR (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Ohi, beaten 24 lengths into 12th. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. JUNIPER DANCE (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 3 lengths over 800m at this track. Has her share of ability. Will take beating again.
