GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Sizzling pace from Mieno Thunder, Longing Nice and Sorbet locking horns ahead of Moriden Stealth and Mikuni Sunbeam. MIKUNI SUNBEAM (7) met with solid support last start over 1650m at this track when sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Form here at this trip reads two wins from four starts. Sure to run well. MORIDEN STEALTH (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SORBET (1) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish second over 1650m at this track. Must be respected. ISANA (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Kawasaki over 2000m. Likely improver who should be about the money.
