Race 5 1300m Track: |

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

Rain Check, Cosmo Roma and Feel Alive can set a genuine tempo. COSMO ROMA (7) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. FEEL ALIVE (11) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1300m. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Among the leading chances. RAIN CHECK (6) is a 23-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. EMERALD CITY (3) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 10 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
