GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Emerging Role and Four Side Nine pressing for the lead. EMERGING ROLE (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten one length, over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOODWOOD GUY (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FOUR SIDE NINE (4) finished ninth last start over this distance at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at nine of 17 starts. Should be competitive. DANON GLISTER (2) turned in a better run last time at the second run back to finish third over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.
