GOING:

Race 3 1600m

Track:      

Speed Yellow has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MIKKI STRIKE (3) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Up in trip here shouldn't be an issue and she can go on with the job. SPEED YELLOW (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BERLINETTA (5) finished in fourth last time out over 1300m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Can play a big role. SAISEISEI (1) showed early speed from a good draw last start then battled on well for third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.

The run before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 11 at this track on February 8 over 1400m, 9 len behind Mikki Strike with 57kg at $54. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
