MR MIKI (3) did a good job to come from wider and finish third at this circuit and distance a couple of days ago, adding to a string of wins and placings. Scored the other two times he raced over this distance here. The good draw can see him back in the winners' list. VINCENT REACTRESS (8) came from a wide barrier on Tuesday but draws for a nice trail this time. Should be ready to peak fourth up so could be a big improver. GOORAMBAT ART (5) is another expected to perform better than he did on Tuesday while MAJOR MOONSHINE (6) added to a handy record at this circuit and distance with Tuesday's win and could take this next step.
