    Race Analysis

    KUKU (2) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 7f at this track. Taking on a better field but she is fitter and up to the task. AWESOME ELISSA (1) finished 9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track a month ago. Steps up in journey. Solid top-three chance. VALIANT JANE (7) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) on December 10. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CON CAUTELA (8) is returning from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Finished seventh at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer R Garcia.
