GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Pierre Oregon to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. TONE MUSUME (3) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance eight months ago. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. PIERRE OREGON (11) is a winner of five from seven and is unbeaten in two first-up runs. Will contest. LADY PYRO (1) finished fifth over 1800m at this track at her most recent appearance on October 29. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. HONEY BEAT (5) last appeared when she finished fourth over 1800m at this track on October 29. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
