GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. NOVEMBER STEP (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOLARISATION (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Cherry-ripe now and looks the main danger. PLATINA BAND (7) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1200m at this track, an improvement on his ninth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ANACAPRI (1) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
