Race Review

Looks the perfect race for TOUCHDOWN (10) second up. He went through the grades impressively last time in and really got through his gears late first up at Sandown Hillside when settling a mile off them and rattling into second. Up to a mile with that run under the belt, he should take a big step forward and prove very hard to hold out. KALEO (9) has been up a long time but showed he's still going very well with a strong win on a fast tempo here over 1700m last start in 3yo company. He should be able to measure up again. BOLTSAVER (14) is racing very consistently. He worked home well for third in the Narrandera Cup last time but the fifth placing without much luck in the Winter Final over this route two back reads very well. PERFECT PLAY (16) comes down from Sydney in mixed form, don't mind him off a freshen and back to a mile. CASTLE ON HIGH (17) presents third up and ready to fire with each way claims.
