GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Pace sure to be genuine from Kitano Needle and Survival Cute matching motors, closely followed by Cosmic Call. SURVIVAL CUTE (3) finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1500m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. KITANO NEEDLE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on well to finish second over 1500m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. COSMIC CALL (5) failed to feature last start, finishing 11th over 920m at this track. Out in distance and can play a significant role. WALKER CUP (4) is backing up eight days after finishing eighth over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
