GOING: G

Peninsula Kubota Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo from Five Star King, Diamond Indaruf and Must Be Sain. ASMITA (9) was fresh from a break of five months last start when beaten 2.25 lengths into second over 1000m at Moe. Yet to miss the frame over this trip or second-up, so everything points to her being a key player. FIVE STAR KING (3) finished fifth over 1200m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 0.7 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Fitter this time. MORDIALLOC BEACH (14) hasn't been beaten too far at her past two starts and is a winner here previously. OLIVE BAGUETTE (2) ran some races last prep that would have been good enough to win this and recent trials suggest he has come back well this prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Asmita each-way.
