CALIFORNIA TIGER (4) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on September 8 when second. He is likely to push forward, and will take plenty of pegging back. EL CATIMBA (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up, and he can go one better. MISS SPRING (9) finished third last time over 900m at this track when resuming from a spell, finishing less than 2 lengths from the winner. She strips fitter, and should go close to taking this out. KOSANTA (1) has been racing well including a last start second over 900m at this track, beaten a nose. Hard to beat from the pole position.
