GOULBURN SOLDIERS CLUB `WE WILL REMEMBER THEM' PACE 1710m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

SUNSET STRIDE (5) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Well-placed to take this out. PLAYA BLANCA (1) is better than her last-start seventh over 1720m at Penrith. Worth another chance. MIKIBEQUICK (8) could only finish seventh over 1740m at Riverina Paceway most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
