GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Strom and Infini Wraith leading the charge. STROM (5) lines up for the first time since January 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings at this course and distance. Has winning claims. KEY CLASSIC (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second at this track and trip last time out. Looks close to a win and could break through. BILLOWY DADA (6) improved last start but found a couple better at this course and distance. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KAKOGAN (7) will be fitter for recent racing and was solid when fourth last time out.
