RACE 3

Kokonotsu is first up for the preparation and has been very sharp at the trials and jumpouts. Jimmy Orman takes the ride, and he will be looking to hold a position, just off the speed from barrier five. He will certainly improve when he gets out over further, but he is going well enough to feature in the finish fresh up here.

Blazen Boots resumes here and has hit the line well in his trials and jumpouts. Ryan Maloney knows him well and will be looking to go back and find some cover from barrier 10. He will take plenty of benefit from the first up run, but we expect him to be strong through the line and be very competitive.

Sacred Feeling is first up and has been ticking along nicely with two trials and a jumpout. Angela Jones takes the ride, and she will go back and find cover from the wide draw. We expect her to be looking for the mile second up, but she is going very well and can be in the finish of a race like this.

Snow Boum stepped up to 1350m and lead all the way to break through for the preparation here two and a half weeks ago. Cejay Graham takes the ride, and she looks well placed with the nice light weight. She should be able to take up a forward position from barrier three and if she can hold her form, she should be there a long way.
