Stake: $898

HEATSEEKER (3) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (29.09), beaten 1.2 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Key runner on his best form. RATCHIES SAPHIRE (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that clocked a handy 28.89 win over 480m at this track. Top win two back and rates a key player again. DARLEY FIRE (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit. SPRINGSIDE SPICE (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a head last start at this track over 480m (29.18). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.27) at this track over 480m. Should be around the mark.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 1.3 lengths second (29.13) over 480m at this track last time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 1.2 lengths (29.09) behind Roaring Lioness in an A3 on April 3. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Chases a winning hat-trick here after a sizzling early split last time that set up a 29.38 win over 480m at this track. This tougher and will need to improve further.
