Despite the small field Bright Eruption, Shori Kai and Pick A Pomodoro can set a strong tempo. SHORI KAI (7) produced an encouraging debut effort over this course and distance last start when finishing third pf seven when sent out at long odds. She lost a length leaving the start, raced green and shifted away from the whip. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the horse to beat. BRIGHT ERUPTION (4) showed good improvement when fourth of 11 over 1200m last time out when resuming from a spell. He will strip much fitter and should like the rise to 1400m. Has each-way claims. GREY WARRIOR (3) has been disappointing to date. He will strip a much fitter horse and in this line-up can finish in the placings. PICK A POMODORO (1) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money twice. Could only manage fifth at the latest appearance over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Has a good record at this distance and is in the mix.
