AU - Canterbury - Race 2

NAMASTE (1) gave away a big start on the bend then closed in good style to be beaten under two lengths over 7 ½f at Kembla last start. Competitive in Sydney Saturday company last prep so this type of race is well within reach. Blinkers back on a strong sign from the Baker camp that he is ready to fire. THREE ARROWS (2) continues to race well deep into his prep. Travelled handy then boxed on well for a close second over 7f at the Illawarra circuit last Thursday. Big chance over the extra ¾f today. BLENHEIM GIRL (6) heads a strong Waller contingent. Came with a sustained run to get the cash first-up over 6f here a fortnight ago. Lightly raced mare with more to offer getting out in distance. VIVA MAURICIO (5) failed on a heavy track at Rosehill recently after a strong first-up win at Hawkesbury. Can bounce back on firmer footing. GLISSANDO (7) dominated at Kembla last start at just her second appearance. Must be respected with J Mac in the irons.
