GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track: AW     True  

With little in the way of early speed Caribbean Smile may well find the front. THOROUGH SEVEN (1) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Was going well at the back end of last prep with placings at her last three starts, the latest at this course and distance. Sure to run well. CARIBBEAN SMILE (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a five-and-a-half months break. Expect she has come on over the break and a bold showing is expected. FIREBALL (3) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished ninth over 1000m at this track. Has ability and is a leading player. BLACKMORE (7) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1200m at this track. Worth including.
