AU - Pakenham - Race 3

SWEET VIXEN (11) looked sharp at the jumpouts before her narrow defeat at Sale on debut. Raced forward and she's the one to beat with the extra fitness. LIFE AFTER LOVE (9) brought promising metro form to resumption and was beaten 1L at Sandown-Lakeside after leading them up. Followed 36 days later with a disappointing run of the Hillside, and she's been kept up to the mark with a jumpout. She maps for a soft run and Ben Allen rides first time. A bounce is likely. CIRCUS CIRCUS (3) resumes off two promising efforts. Kicks off in a shorter sprint this time with two jumpouts under the saddle. Has a low gate and will be naturally improved. Jordan Childs gets off the above to stick with resuming stablemate GATTINO VELOCE (5). She didn't show much on debut but will have come on and jumps from the inside barrier. Worth a betting watch.
