SATURDAY 7th NOVEMBER - HAWKESBURY

Rail Position: True

Adrian and I are delighted with how Koibito is going ahead of Saturday's race. She brings some good city maiden form into this, having finished a close second over 1550 metres at Canterbury last preparation, and she was only narrowly beaten after leading over 1250 metres at Newcastle two starts ago. She didn't quite finish off as we had hoped over 1600 metres at Warwick Farm last time, so we feel coming back to 1400 metres will be much more suitable. She has drawn beautifully in barrier 4, which should allow Louis to use her natural gate speed to take up a prominent position and control the race from the front. She is going a month between runs, which is why we toyed with the idea of trialling her, but she has been working particularly well at home so we expect her to be very competitive in this company and hope to see her go one better for you.
