RACE NINE
LENNY THE LEGEND (4) has been in a good rhythm this season that has seen him finish in the top 3 on 11 of 14 outings. Sent to the breeze last start from gate 5 he was in for the fight and was within 1.5m of the swooping winner NUI TOC TIEN. Settling off a strong tempo he can arrive over the top.
WHISKEY BLAZE (5) took on a conditioned race over the 2138m 2 starts back and worked home in good style to claim the prize. A long way back in the pack last start when trying to make ground he couldn’t pick them up late. Sliding into the running line he can look for a cart into the contest.
SLICE OF HEAVEN (1) has started twice this prep and should be further tightened from the latest outing. Luckless 1st up he dug in for the fight from the breeze last start. He will be looking for space.
SECRET JACK (9) returned from a spell with a half-neck 3rd via the passing lane and then last start was forced to work leading the 3 wide train. Pressing through early to settle handy he can be in the mix.
