Race 4 1400m Track: |

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

Solid tempo expected primarily from Four W D and Grand Centre. CAVALLI ALTI (4) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten half a length, over 820m at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. FOUR W D (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by a neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely drawn on the fence and he looks sure to be in the mix. NEVER SAY GOODBYE (6) was well in the market when resuming last time out but raced below market expectations when fifth at this track over 1400m. Definite improver with that run under her belt. CERVEZA (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut by Isla Bonita from Top Choice who has thrown plenty of winners to date. Should get all the favours from this good gate and should be in the finish.
