GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Smile Jonas leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. WONDER COLORFUL (7) was well fancied when resuming last start over 820m at this track when fourth. Expected to improve and gets his chance. SAND EMPRESS (6) is back at the races for the first time since August 8. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PECHE BLANCHE (2) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when 12th at this track over 820m. Finds a nice race and can atone. ARAJAI (4) produced a better run last start when fourth over 820m at this track. Has ability and is one of the chances.
