GOING: S(6)

KENSEI CLUB COMMUNITY RACE DAY 6 JULY CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1125m

Track: SOFT6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Speedy Target, Jewels Statement and La Cache A Vin to match motors but there will be other pressure. HIDDEN MELODY (7) is open to plenty of improvement following a couple of modest efforts in shorter races to kick off this campaign. Should box-seat from the inside stall and should work into contention when a run presents. JEWELS STATEMENT (2) bolted in over 1015m here two back then found a Randwick Highway out of reach last time. Given a forty-four day freshen up and with McGuren back aboard she poses a serious threat. ABRAZEN LAUGH (13) hasn't won for over two years but a couple of sound recent efforts should see him well found by punters. SPEEDY TARGET (10) should be right at his top fourth up and rates as one of the major players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Hidden Melody.
