GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Strong pace from Papita and Esta Bonito matching motors with Realiser close at hand. SAMMARU EMPIRE (10) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 1500m here. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. REALISER (11) was well in commission last start over 1700m at this circuit when third, beaten 7 lengths. Will prove tough to beat. PAPITA (9) improved last start to finish second over 1700m at this venue after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. ROCKY BRAVE (2) was beaten 9 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at this course at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
