GOING:

Race 10 820m

Track:      

Into The Flow and Love Love Four possess good early speed. SMART VIVID (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.9 lengths from the winner in third over 820m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIKEA SABLE (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish sixth over 1230m at this track. Well placed and could prove tough to stop. LOVE LOVE FOUR (2) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth last start over 820m at this track. Must be included among the main hopes. INTO THE FLOW (8) ran a better race when second-up last time out, finishing fifth over 820m at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey with five wins from 10 starts. Not to be discounted.
