GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Five Roses leading the way. FIVE ROSES (9) returns from a break of eight months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. POLICE VEHICLE (3) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Top three contender. NOBLE BEACH (8) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Has a good record here at this journey and has claims on best figures. DREAM SUNDAY (5) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1750m at this track. Ren Hasegawa goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. Don't underestimate.
