GOING: G

Race 12 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Guelta and Reme Beans will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. PEARL WHITE EVE (9) made it two wins in succession last start when he scored by a neck over 1400m at Mizusawa. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running another bold race. MIENO NICE GUY (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1800m at this track. Well placed and can return to form. GUELTA (6) after sitting on the pace he dropped away to finish seventh over 1600m at this track last start. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. FOREST GATE (13) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track. Best efforts measure up and look for another big run.
