GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Keep Shine has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. HEARTFUL EARTH (3) won at this track and distance at his last outing three-and-a-half months ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal fresh. LOGI DEEP (8) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. IN THE LIFE (1) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Well placed to go one better. KEEP SHINE (9) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver.
