RACE COMMENT
MEET ME AT THE BEACH (1) has been a little disappointing lately but she should have the speed to lead and Kapunda is a leaders track. She will love the short distance as well. She is a big chance of improving today.NEDS BEACH (8) has won his last two starts and is racing in tremendous form.WELL WELL (2) and TRIGGER (3) are also chances.
