Strong tempo with Zouandme and Intense Steel leading from Spoiler and Chilled With Ice. Matt Dunn-trained VIVIKA (14) was beaten a nose at Doomben on debut and resumes with two sharp trials under the saddle. Newman sticks from those and the filly carries just 53kg with her claim. Draws awkwardly, but she should have them well covered. No surprise to see stablemate CHILLED WITH ICE (2) race well first-up. Has likely had issues, but he won the first of his two trials, and Morgan is a positive jockey engagement. OH ARTHUR (5) debuts and they've brought him up from Goulburn. Must be showing plenty and he maps well. The 2kg claimer rode him in a recent Canberra trial. INTENSE STEEL (3) rode the speed and was beaten 1.4L at Coffs Harbour first up. Finds a dry track today but presents fitter and keeps the handy 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Vivika.
