LIGHTNING SPEED (3) registered a strong win at Thistledown two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 1710m at BELTERRA PARK Turf, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. VALIANT STRIKE (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1710m in Listed grade at BELTERRA PARK Turf (Turf). Finds the right race this time and can discover winning form. SWEET KYLIE (2) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is a major player. SMOOTH WHISKEY (6) could only manage fourth on dirt over 1207m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1710m at BELTERRA PARK Turf more recently. Best form on dirt stacks up so give him another chance.
