GOING: S

Race 12 900m

Track: SOFT      

Best Tsukki and Sun Niagara possess good early speed. BEST TSUKKI (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten a neck, over 900m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MISS SUN (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 900m at this track after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and is expected to run well. SARASA EMPEROR (10) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 4 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but he cannot be underestimated. KANETOSHI HOOP (6) opened this prep with a win then was not as effective last time out when sixth over 900m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. In contention this time.
