GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Takara Arthur, Sand Blitz and Vehement Blast ahead of Kool Shine. VERONIQUE (1) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a head over 1500m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. KOOL SHINE (6) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1400m at this track. Will prove tough to stop. VEHEMENT BLAST (9) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1500m at this track last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Capable of going well. HEART LEAP (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
