Toowoomba Race 1 - Empire Of Japan Mdn Plate
KELPUM'S KEEPER (3) was decent on debut here and then was on speed again when narrowly beaten. Draws well and has a handy 3kg claim. Presents fitter again, and the speedy galloper is ready to win. SPOILT ROTTEN (9) resumes and rates well. He went close at Ipswich two back and has trialled well here. The 2kg claim is handy, but the wide gate is a negative. A threat regardless. NATURALLY LIT (5) is a local on debut. His trial was good and the low barrier and 2kg claim advantage. Has the blinkers on and a bold run is likely. SPIRITOFTHEWORLD (8) resumes and did enough to debut to consider. TUESDAY (14) has a 2kg claim and is likely to show more at her third start.

She is resuming after a five months break. Not seen since she finished last of 7 at Gold Coast Poly 2yo Mdn-Sw March 29 over 1200m, 12 len behind Blinding Speed with 56kg at $26. On debut eighth of 10 at Eagle Farm 2yo Mdn-Sw March 12 over 1200m, soft track; 11 len behind Ha'penny Hatch carrying 56kg at $20. Prefer to see how she returns.
