GOING: S

R & C Asphalt (Bm64) 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

Early speed from Fast 'n' Rolling, Musee Des Arts and Mialign. Have to completely overlook the first up run of SUMMER WIND. Slowly away and got into a tricky spot. Raced keen and then found traffic. She was still there at the finish and she can take fitness from the hit out but as a piece of form she can be expected to leave it behind now. Blinkers go on, Lane sticks aboard, and she's drawn to settle in the first handful. Pop Queen could chance the arm from the outside, Magellan and Roseberry Street with Miss Universe can be handy. Mialign should hold a forward spot and Summer Wind can be there. MIALIGN did a good job first-up for the new stable and with extra fitness and an ideal gate gets a good chance to go one better. SUMMER WIND was just fair when resuming but she's much better than what she showed there. Was competitive in town last prep and entitled to another chance. CARUSELLE is an honest type who hasn't raced since just failing at Sale a couple of months ago. Each-way. Fast 'N' Rolling is always thereabouts and a watch on Musee Des Arts fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to back Summer Wind.
