Solid tempo with Shizukano Umi leading from Canna Lily and Leonard Star. LEONARD STAR (12) finds it hard to win but was in the finish last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 820m at this track. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Sure to be in the finish. VELENOSI (1) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Rates highly and can measure up. YOUNG BLOOD (9) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a nose over 820m at this track. Has started seven times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Among the chances. SUN HANANOAME (3) strode forward early from her wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by half a length at this track over 820m. In form and worth including.
