GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Kelo, Trumpetia and Crystal Pit. HEROES (1) started at big odds on debut last start when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 820m at this track. Improver who looks a major player. VARSITY (8) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 820m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. KELO (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. BUCHI A DREAM (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track over 820m, beaten 6 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
