GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Miracle Ace, Mittelrhein and Peri primarily. MIRACLE ACE (2) has been racing consistently and looks primed to break through, finishing a solid third last start at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run and rates a key contender. JOY BLACK (10) showed good early dash last time over this course and distance, battling on gamely into third. Well placed and can go one better. MINORICH MAYER (9) resumes after five months off and contested a similar race last pre when firmly supported. Suspect she'll be much better this time. ONE OF US (3) has been knocking on the door, improving last start here when chasing strongly into third. Well placed and capable of another big performance.
