RACE FIVE
Returning from a spell in his heat FUTURE ASSURED (2) was working forward from gate 6 and eventually took control and with the tempo on throughout, was able to hold off the challengers for the narrowest of victories. A four-time winner this term, provided he handles the quick back-up, he looks mighty hard to stop.
TAKINGCAREOFBUSINESS (1) was not bustled early and eventually pressed on to take control in a strong 57.1 opening half, with the middle half in an equally sharp 57 flat. Looking under pressure turning for home, he dug in for the fight, lifted himself and took the prize. He has all the options.
SPEED DATING (8) was shuffled back along the inside in the run before she was rattling home hard along the passing lane to get within an eyelash of taking victory in the heat. From leaders back or three poles, she will again be looking to for gaps.
TARGARYEN (11) was required to roll the sleeves and do it the tough way in his heat, sitting parked outside TAKINGCAREOFBUSINESS. Edging to the front, the leader rallied, and he was under 5m away. From outside the back, he will be wanting tempo.
