GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Sarasa Emperor, Proofreader and Narino Emblem to push forward and set a good tempo. SARASA EMPEROR (10) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 900m, beaten a nose. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should run well. PROOFREADER (9) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by one length last time out over 1600m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. NARINO EMBLEM (13) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing sixth. Should park just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. SILENT VOICE (7) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Turned in another good effort last time out when third over 2000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
