GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Solar Flare leading Famous Dandy. A SHIN ENBARR (5) improved sharply with a win as public elect over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Can get the job done again. FAMOUS DANDY (3) proved too strong last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has six wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run an can take this out. SOLAR FLARE (1) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1500m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. TAI SAI (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Has his share of ability and could be hard to beat again.
