GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Riko Nick, Martinete and Dual Career all possess good speed. TAISEI ROSY (3) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. DUAL CAREER (7) lines up for the first time since October 30. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DIOS MESSAGE (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run five-and-a-half months ago when second, beaten 4 lengths. One to consider. YAMANO PRETTY (10) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below her best at the last run of the prep, finishing tenth over 1200m at this track. Looks set to run well.
