GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Adone and Shana O up front. WONDER GLEE (8) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 1700m at this track. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break and should be right in this. FASCINATE PI (1) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a spell last start over 1700m at this track. Should tighten right up following that outing. Going well and has bright prospects. LILIES BLOOM (3) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1870m at this track. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish. ADONE (6) finished second here two runs ago but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in tenth. Can atone.
