GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Chotto Yabaiyone should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. POSITIVITY (3) was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track, his third runner-up result in his last four appearances. Finds a suitable race and could break through. CHAMPION RIBBON (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed and she is one of the main chances. G T HAPPY (12) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 1.5 lengths over 1600m here last time out. Winning rider Ryotaro Oka sticks. Has winning claims on best figures. CITY OF LONDON (4) improved last start but found a couple better. Can play a role again.

Recent form sound. Most recently scored a big 4 len win at this track November 24 over 1600m defeating Flugelhorn carrying 55kg at $4.10. Before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 12 at this track on November 9 over 1400m, 10 len behind Under The Bridge with 55kg at $40.40. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
