GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Subtle Approach leading the way. UNCLE DASH (7) lines up on the back of a fourth over 1400m at this track. Profiles nicely for this and fitter can feature in the finish. BEACH POSITIVE (3) is a reliable filly with a solid top-three strike rate. Good effort last start but found one better over 1500m at this track. Freshened up and will be hard to hold out. LOGI SHIP (8) did well and finished third last start over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is top three hope again. SMILE FRIEND (5) finished second last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed in this suitable race and can go on with it.
