THANK YOU NIKITA OLD MOBILE PACE 2200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

CAPTAIN KOBE (6) hasn't been far from the placegetters in higher-graded races in the last two outings at Manawatu and was an Addington winner last month. Placed in both attempts at this circuit and distance. Big chance. KATIES PRINCESS (2) has had seven weeks off since she was forced to work when parked last time but stuck on solidly. Had put together a long string of wins and placings at this venue prior. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw so has winning claims. CAULFIELD (4) is building in fitness and is working towards a win having improved to place here last time out. SHEZABETTORGIRL (3) draws lower than in the last-start fifth at Manawatu and was racing well prior so should be respected.
