GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Miss Prima to take up the running with Bitcoin and Taisei Marshal close at hand. TAISEI MARSHAL (9) has notched up five wins from seven starts at this track, the latest on July 4 over 1200m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Too good to ignore. KOTATSUDE MIKAN (12) returned from a break of seven months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs and will be ready to run a big race today. BITCOIN (1) boxed on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten one length when fresh from a spell. Fitter and ready to find winning form. MISS PRIMA (6) was below her best last time, finishing ninth over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
