GOING: S

Race 12 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Saphir Ciel should lead at a strong tempo. MORIDEN STEALTH (13) was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage second over 1200m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from three tries and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Will prove hard to beat. SAPHIR CIEL (6) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Looks a winning chance. ASI SE BAILA (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. FIRST FORTE (9) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.4 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
