---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo headed by Kurabenii, Chicka and The Princess. WATERMELON (2) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in fourth over 1150m at Gold Coast Poly. Will drift back but is sure to prove tough to beat. VIKING BLOOD (7) returns from a spell of five months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when eighth over 1350m at Ipswich. Should be hard to stop. SON OF HEROIC (6) is a maiden galloper resuming today after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a 12th over 1590m at Ballina, beaten 29 lengths. Sharpened for this with a placing in a recent trial. Shapes as one to consider. CHAMPONNET (9) was beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh over 1200m at Sunshine Coast three weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watermelon to win.
