GOING: S

Race 12 1650m

Track: SOFT      

Keen tempo with Mieno Thunder and Sorbet prominent. MIKUNI SUNBEAM (2) has two wins and one placing from three outings this preparation. Scored last start by half a length at this track over 1600m. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. MIENO THUNDER (4) comes here off a break of 13 months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1650m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. SORBET (7) finished half a length from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1600m at this track. Has a very good record here including six wins from 10 starts. One of the leading contenders. ACE ABILITY (11) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1.75 lengths over 1650m here last time. Should give a great sight.
