Race 3 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with Blaze Boy and Draig leading from Emerald City and Rain Check. DRAIG (1) scored an impressive win by 7 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1300m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and will be a tough nut to crack again. RAIN CHECK (5) is a 20-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at her last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. RAINBOW CIRCLE (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing eighth over 1300m at this track. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. EMERALD CITY (9) improved last start to finish second over 1300m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
