EMPIRE OF JAPAN Class 2 Plate 1200m Track: SOFT 5 Rain (Max: 27) Rail: True. (Pent: 6.30) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fast pace assured with Taltarni Fields and Runwiththetide leading the charge. TALTARNI FIELDS (9) hasn't done much wrong with two wins and five placings from just seven career outings with Graham being in the saddle for all seven runs. Strips fitter second-up from the spell and drawn perfectly in gate one. Should be very competitive in a race like this. The well-related SHAKO (8) (half to G2 winner Arcaded) is a consistent conveyance who is yet to miss the top-four in nine starts and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Top-three credentials. BOOM SHOT (2) has won over this track and trip and must be respected with the Gollan/Orman combination. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taltarni Fields to win.
