GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

World Whistler to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SMART C'EST LA VIE (10) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight. He's been racing in much tougher company recently and looks well placed right back in grade today. Can bounce back to winning ways. COSMO TARRAGON (6) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing 1.3 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Will take catching. SABUNO PREMIUM (5) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Warrants plenty of respect. B STREET (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
