GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

A keen early contest likely with Beach Positive and Derma Jizo pushing for the lead with Cafe No Wien and Top King on their backs. BEACH POSITIVE (8) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a neck away in second over 1500m at this track. Well-placed and will take catching. CHERRY ATLAS (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. BEACH BLUES (1) proved too strong last start and scored by a nose over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this circuit. Can measure up again. CAFE NO WIEN (7) opened this prep with a win but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1500m here. Can bounce back.
