GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Goemool and Sundappled leading from Vermilion Cliff. SUNDAPPLED (5) won here four back and looks close to another success. Met with solid support last start at this track and trip when third, beaten 3 lengths. Record here is impressive with three wins and two placings from seven starts. May be hard to stop. CARIBE FLAVOR (1) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out. Drew very wide there so is well suited with the inside barrier. VERMILION CLIFF (2) kicked off the campaign with back-to-back wins then was safely held when fourth over further last time out. Draws well and the distance drop should suit. Last-start placegetter FAIRY PINE (10) is the next in line.
