GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Castle Top and Cosmo Seawolf ahead of Chomechome and Kitano Hero. CASTLE TOP (5) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on February 18 over 1600m when he got home by 4 lengths. Hard to beat in his current space. KITANO HERO (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1400m at this track. Each way claims again. CHOMECHOME (4) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. One to consider. WATER LEMON (1) finished a solid fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, after a win here at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought in a tidy field.
