GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Expecting a genuine tempo. SOLDIER FIELD (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1700m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Expected to measure up. S'IL TE PLAIT (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1700m at this track last time. Has a superb record here at this trip with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Yamato Ishikawa who has 12 wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. BRAVE AMORE (4) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Has a fair record at this trip with a win and five minor placings so he is expected to measure up. CREW DRAGON (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 36 lengths. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.

Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on July 29 over 1700m, 3 len behind Soldier Field with 59kg at $1.30. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at this track on July 1 over 1700m defeating Brave Amore carrying 58kg at $1.01. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.
