GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Silver Ghost and Village Single leading the way over Singing Road. SILVER GHOST (2) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VILLAGE SINGLE (6) is a consistent performer with six minor placings from eight starts this prep. Was in the firing line all the way and finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track. Must be included on the strength of that form. SINGING ROAD (9) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1300m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MEMORY EFFECT (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 13 lengths away in tenth over 1400m at Kochi. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
