Kenilworth Race 7 - Somerset 1200 (Listed) (2Yo)
REEF RUNNER (8) was a most impressive winner on debut over 1000m at this track, putting 3 lengths on his nearest rival. Down in the weights this time. Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to measure up again. GRAPES OF WRATH (4) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track three months ago and has not raced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. SHEZARIPPER (9) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1100m at this track. One of the main contenders. TAG AND RELEASE (3) scored last start in Group 3 grade at this track to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the better hopes.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when favourite; won by 2.25 len at this track February 28 over 1000m defeating Enticement with 60kg at $2.70. Too good on debut here before another break. Expect a forward showing.
