RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KATUNGA EXPRESS (8) is drawn behind a sharp beginner here to potentially map well over the short trip. His form prior was very good, and with a solid tempo likely can be strong late if he gets the breaks. GOOD TOBE LOCKSLEY (9) broke through for a deserved win last time after being thereabouts and can sweep home strongly if they overcook things. CHIRRIPO (4) was a good run last week back to a more suitable race and returns to the front row to race handier. SOHO PLAYGIRL (1) runs the gate well and her best credentials are over the mile journey but does need to lift on recent outings.
