GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Just a moderate pace anticipated. KOSOKU MARI (9) has not appeared since she finished second over 1400m at this track on December 30. Expect her to play a major role. KITANO CONDOR (7) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. B MOVIE (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run 11 weeks ago when second, beaten 2 lengths. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from five tries. Looks a strong top-three prospect. TIRAGE (1) turned in a fair effort at this track over 1600m at her last run 12 weeks ago, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal.
