GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Caribe Flavor. KISEKINO SENSHI (10) last start found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Leading prospect. KNOCK ON WOOD (5) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Can repeat the dose. FLOWER COMPANY (8) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. CARIBE FLAVOR (3) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1300m at this track. Can bounce back.
