VRC SUMMER FUN SPRINT
Results
LAYERUPONLAYER (1) resumed here over 1000m and got the job done by the barest of margins, taking his record to three wins from six starts. Fancy he's even better suited at 1200m and he's still only lightly raced. THAILESS (7) is racing in consistently strong form this time in, winning well two back at Caulfield Heath before a close up effort at Moonee Valley. She'll give a sight on the speed. ZOUPURRING (6) tried hard first up at Cranbourne over 1200m when only overrun late, beaten a head. He was in consistent form around this level last time in and looks well placed with that run under the belt. ENNA'S DREAM (8) has been going okay this time in without really threatening but her best efforts read well for this grade. GRONKOWSKI (5) was good over this route last time and has each way claims.
