|---|---|---|---|---|

Fast tempo assured with Cellist, Presto Emma and Studia going toe-to-toe. CELLIST (9) went fast early and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BOLD CHAR (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. DIGEST (2) finished second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PRESTO EMMA (11) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
