|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Lord Midnight. LORD MIDNIGHT (6) was a gutsy winner two back then finished fourth over 1400m at this track on June 21. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. SUN NOBLE (2) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish seventh over the same trip at this track after he was in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MEINER SAHARA (5) is back from a spell of eight months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1750m at this track. Solid chance. FEB KIRANAH (3) was beaten 13 lengths into fourth in a 1750m contest at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
