GOING:

Race 3 820m

Track:      

Key Of Heart is the likely leader at a slick tempo. BLUE DESIRE (12) was prominent throughout at this track last time and lifted strongly to finish a close second over 820m. Looks set for another big run. MODEL CHAN (10) performed well last start when third at this track over 820m. Can contest the finish. KATTEMIRU (1) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing ninth as favourite last time out over 820m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead and can atone. VELENOSI (3) was ninth over 1230m at this track at her latest appearance. Suitably placed and back in trip can turn things around.
