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

A solid tempo on the cards with Emergence leading the way. EMERGENCE (7) raced on the speed and kept going to score comfortably when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. LUX ECLAIR (5) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing third over 1870m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. ANDERMATT (2) gave a sight here last time, leading until late before finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1400m. Sure to be hard to catch. HERCULES TOWER (1) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance. Well placed to turn things around.
