KALANI SEA (7) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 4.5 lengths third (22.98) over 400m at this track. Won at her only start from this draw.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at this track in a handy (22.97), beating Duran Queen. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.
