GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Shiny Colors, Hawaiian Icon and Salt Mill rolling forward. SALT MILL (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Everything points towards another big run. HAWAIIAN ICON (4) returns from a spell of four months and won first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. PUKETTI (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Perfectly placed and can play a pivotal role. YAMAJUN ASIAN (7) has been well held since winning three starts back, finishing seventh over 1600m at this track last time out. Nicely placed this time and is among the chances.
