GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Good pace with Phrasemaker, Umetaro and Gold Bravo matching motors. PHRASEMAKER (10) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 1400m at this track. In great form and worth following up. SONG FOR YOU (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 6 lengths at this track over 1500m. Form at this distance is strong with five wins from seven starts and is expected to be in the finish again. YAMAME QUEEN (5) finished fifth over this distance at her latest outing. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on seven occasions from nine starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. GOLD BRAVO (3) finished back in seventh over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Drawn to go forward and must be respected.
