GOING: F

DAHUA COMMUNITY PACE 1609m

Track: FAST      

KANENA PROVLIMA (9) found winning form at this circuit and distance last week when he had enough gate speed to lead from a similar barrier and score by 2.7m. High-level performer when right and finds another winnable assignment so can go back to back. UNFAZED (6) has improved with each start this time in and should be hitting his peak after a fourth at this venue and distance last time out. MICK DANGER (5) has claims off a narrow defeat from the outside barrier here two back. DOUBLE ACT (2) has been quite consistent of late and a good draw can see him competitive again.
