Mauritius Race 5 - 7f Stakes
SPIRIT'S UNITE (2) returns after a spell of eight months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Form to end last preparation is very strong and if he can resume in similar order, then the winning streak is expected to continue. CAPTAIN MIKE (1) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length last time out over 990m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MOONLIGHT TRADER (3) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on November 29 when fifth,. Sure to make his presence felt. VAN HUNKS (5) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
