GOING: G

RED NUMBERS CUP CLASS 2 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)    

Lim's Bighorn is the likely leader at a strong tempo. Group 3 winner PACIFIC EMPEROR (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1200m on the all-weather at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. RAVALLI (6) is racing well. Won three in a row then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1200m at this track at the latest appearance a week ago. Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from five runs. Among the leading chances. Group 2 winner LIM'S BIGHORN (8) was a winner two back on the all-weather then was competitive last time when fourth over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.9 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One to consider. MT NISEKO (9) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.
