Race Preview

It looks a nice platform for POLITELY DUN (3) to find his best. He's been threatening to win one this time in but just getting too far back off some slow tempos and dashing home. That was the scenario last week over 2000m when getting into fourth, but the quick backup out to 2500m looks perfect. LEONCHROI (7) is a progressive stayer who rallied late to take a BM70 at Geelong last time out. He stays down in the weights here and looks capable of measuring up. TARVUE (6) also backs up from last week having won the 1800m BM78 nicely. Sharp rise in trip but she'll run it out no problems and should have a good fitness base. EAGLE ANGEL (2) is racing well this time in, a neck behind Leonchroi last time. He'll land in a soft spot here and give a kick. SCINTILLANTE (5) won an easier race last time but could improve again out in trip.
