Jo Lono and February Sky to take up the running at a strong tempo. WONDER COLORFUL (7) wound up strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 800m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. JO LONO (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. FEBRUARY SKY (9) started at $3 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths at this track over 800m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MIGHTY WARRIOR (1) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by half a length at this track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run.
