GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Slick pace with American Cool finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. AMERICAN COOL (1) returns from a spell of four months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1300m at this track at his most recent appearance. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Major player. SANONO AMERICAN (3) has been racing in great heart with two wins on end followed by recent back-to-back placings, the latest a second over 1600m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. TOP AMERICAN (4) finished sixth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will be in this for a long way. GOOD FAITH (5) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish.
