GOING: G

THE YOMIURI MILERS CUP 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting Tudo De Bom to take up the running with Eeyan and Session close at hand. Mile Championship winner SERIFOS (3) finished seventh over 1600m in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin at his most recent appearance on December 10. Has the ability and excels fresh. Should be right in the finish. SOUL RUSH (14) is a Grade 2 winner back at the races for the first time since December 10. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Boasts a first-up record of three wins and three placings from nine starts. Expect him to play a major role. TRANQUILLITE (8) also returns from a break.Filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Worth plenty of thought. Grade 3 winner COREPETITEUR (10) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1600m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Has claims on his form from last campaign.
