Pace strong with Plover and Kids Final leading with Speed Star nearby. PLOVER (6) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 4.5 lengths into third over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KATCHAO (1) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1000m at this track. Ready to go one better. KUNG FU DANCE (5) was below her best last time when sixth after being in contention on the turn over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KIDS FINAL (7) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths when in the market. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.
