GOING: G

Race 4 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Mr John and Mikuni Sunbeam. BESEELT (12) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1400m contest at this track by 3.5 lengths. Ticks all the right boxes. MR JOHN (14) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Last appeared when he finished second over 1400m at this track on June 25. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. MIKUNI SUNBEAM (5) returns from a spell of four months and did score first-up when last in work at this track over 1200m. Lines up for the first time for the Terunobu Fujita stable. Sound top-three prospects. TSURUMARU VIOLET (8) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
