GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Key Classic. KEY CLASSIC (10) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Best form puts him right in this. VIP PURE ACE (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MORNINGTON LINE (2) finds it tough to get off the mark but has a littering of good run through his form. Worth including in this suitable contest. SMART COMMANDER (7) is open to sharp improvement second-up and is worth keeping safe.
