|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with the speedy Key Of Heart crossing from the outside gate. KEY OF HEART (12) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 800m at this track. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. T K LINO (8) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 800m at this track, finishing 12 lengths back in sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. FIRE TORCH (2) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 800m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HESHIKIRI (9) raced below his best last time when eighth over 1800m at this track but he is nicely placed to bounce back.
