Plenty of speed from Helluva Teen and Enterprise Legend. HELLUVA TEEN (7) is ready to bounce back on the good surface after failing to get through the heavy (8) conditions when a tiring ninth over 1000m at Taree. Gets Cahill's claim again with the tongue-tie going on. Goes close. VIERVILLE (8) races best with his runs spaced and a senior rider goes on today. Apprentice reported he momentarily lost the use of his nearside rein near the 150m when seventh over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Will push forward from the draw and take a hand in the finish. ENTERPRISE LEGEND (5) tough gelding chasing his third straight victory. Showed blistering speed from the outside draw when a slick on pace winner over 1000m at Tamworth. Gets a much better set-up here and goes just as well second up. TRYANZA (17) trained locally and made good use of the low draw at his first run back when leading throughout to score a solid win over 1115m at this track. Maps well and should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Helluva Teen each-way.
