GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap (Heat of Festival State Sprint Series) 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.57).  

A strong gallop is likely with Chosen Blonde and Sunzou taking up the running, closely attended by Harleen and He's Purring. SUNZOU (2) showed good early dash when resuming at the latest but was claimed late. Strips fitter and is drawn to advantage. Will take some pegging back. VOLCANIC EXPRESS (10) worked into the race nicely then put paid to them comfortably last time at Murray Bridge. Tougher this time but can go on with it. SKINDER (9) never looked likely first up when always well back but got going late. Improvement to come second-up. Can finish over the top. CHOSEN BLONDE (1) is in a purple patch of form, as she shoots for four straight. Track and trip specialist who is sure to run another strong race. EVERLY (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunzou the one to catch.
