GOING: S(5)

CRONIN MILLER LITIGATION Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.76).  

Russian Sub to bounce straight to the front and run them along. MIDORI BEAUTY (1) returned in fine fashion with a fast-finishing Doomben victory and will have come on with that run under the belt. Top-three aspirations. The consistent ROMEO'S CHOICE (5) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and rarely puts in a poor one. Has to be considered. THELWELL (7) has been thereabouts in his two resuming efforts. Peaking now and can get the job done. RUSSIAN SUB (20) continues to knock on the door. Have to keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Midori Beauty gets the nod.
1 x26x1 MIDORI BEAUTY
