GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Strong tempo assured from Suns and Walkin leading the charge. SUNS (5) found a couple better last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from five starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. WALKIN (11) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in three starts. Has not been produced since he scored over 1500m at this track on April 21. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Tough to beat. JASPER JET (8) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by half a length. Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. EN CLOCHE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Worth noting Ryo Novata goes aboard. No surprise to see her in contention.

Racing well. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at this track on December 25 over 1500m, 2.75 len behind Impish with 57kg at $1.50. Before that favourite; won by 2 len at this track November 27 over 1400m defeating Impish carrying 56kg at $2.20. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

The start before that didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 11 at this track on November 27 over 1400m, 7 len behind Eurosita Beat carrying 54kg at $265.20. Needs to find extra to beat these.

The run before that faded in the straight 6th of 11 at this track on November 25 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Tosen Penelope with 54kg at $4.20. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
