Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Good pace headed by Bliss Disha, Smart Allister and Fukuno Spine, with Chuo Hahn and Bantock close by. FUKUNO SPINE (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 2.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Among the top chances again. BLISS DISHA (2) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 0.8 lengths last start over 1300m at this track. Sure to take some stopping again. SMART ALLISTER (6) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, finishing fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. INTENSE FLAME (8) last raced on April 12 when ninth at this track over 1300m after he was well back on straightening. Well placed and can run a better race.
