Go close. Group 2 placegetter LES VAMPIRES (2) is a strong on-pace colt on the quick back-up after running a close eighth over 1600m at Randwick in the G1 Guineas last Saturday. Has fitness on his side and will prove hard to catch. SALTCOATS (5) second-up today and comes off a 42-day let-up. Loomed up to win when a narrow second over 1350m here on February 3.
