GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Off the inside draw Flash Kelly should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. SMILE CLARK (7) back to earth last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Big chance to bounce straight back. TAMBA BUSHO (12) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance five months ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FLASH KELLY (1) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Well placed and a threat. LILY OF THE HEART (4) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. One to watch for in the concluding stages.
