Cracking early tempo with Lightning Blue and Kawaii leading the way. LIGHTNING BLUE (8) was resuming from a spell of three months last start when a solid second over this course and distance. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded three minor placings from four attempts. Will be hard to stop. RAGING RIVER (2) produced a good effort last start over this trip at this track, scoring by half a length. Form here strong boasting 12 wins from 21 starts. Best form puts her right in this. PRESTO LEGACY (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. KAWAII (5) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1200m at this track. Should backers a sight again.
