GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Cool Flare, Mateship and Robustness primarily. MATESHIP (12) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1500m at this track. Expected to feature. COOL FLARE (5) turned things around last start and scored by 1.5 lengths as favourite over 920m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to cope. BEACH HIGHBALL (9) opened this prep with a win two runs ago then last time out finished third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish again. POLARSTERN (8) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, finishing tenth. Capable of featuring prominently in this suitable race.
