GOING: G

PURPLE SLEIGH SPRINT MIDDLE STAKES 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

Super Fast and Magic Surprise can be prominent. Very even race. SOHO STAR (11) is an honest type going well. Close behind the winner this course and distance latest. Has the claim and should be running on hard. AFRICAN SKYLINE (5) was on pace and boxed on well fresh. Yet to win but placed 5/9 second-up and placed 5/6 course and distance. Definite winning chance. TARA STAR (9) led throughout to score here last time. Well weighted again and no reason she cannot salute once again. ICY BLAST (3) was no match for the winner latest but racing well and drawn to feature again.
