GOING: H(8)

CURE KIDS 1400m

Track: HEAVY     Out 6m  

Solid tempo set by Shamel Express and Vieni Su. LOVE SYMBOL (4) she has run good placings so far this time in. Win chance here no matter the footing that is posted today. SHAMEL EXPRESS (1) was a close second fresh up. Looks a winner in waiting after that performance. Drawn out once again. CLEW BAY (8) looks to be in great order for her fresh up run. Winner of both her trials so she is very ready to resume. Chance here for sure and the tote quote will be very telling. PISTOL WHIP (2) showed big improvement at his last run before being spelled. Drawn well. Trial third last month. SURPRISE INSIDE (6) was a shocker at last start. Good second prior fresh up. First race left-handed. Include the filly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Love Symbol and Clew Bay are win wagers.
