Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A keen pace battle assured Reward Imperio prominent, joined by Bicky First and Houyhnhnm. LA LA MARCHERDROIT (10) is in a purple patch of form with his third straight win coming last time out over 1400m at this track. Same scenario as the last success and will take beating again. REWARD IMPERIO (11) finished a long neck from the winner in third last start over 1600m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at six of 11 starts. Best form puts him right in this. HOUYHNHNM (3) ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1600m at this track. Well placed and can feature PALACE PARTNER (1) was a winner over 1400m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1.5 lengths. Solid top-three prospects.
