RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SUSAN IS HER NAME (8) has been outstanding in her two victories since resuming from a break and is capable of taking the next step forward. She recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.56.7 (2240m) at her latest attempt and seemingly had plenty in reserve. KEAYANG LAVITA (1) is also stepping up in class but has been impressive enough to suggest she should continue to go well. She worked forward to find the lead and won softly over Dichotomy last outing. NEPHEW OF SONOKO (9) will appreciate his easiest assignment for some time and is not without a chance. DESTRIER (2), ALDEBARAN MILEY (5) and OUR MARVELLA (7) are all worth thought in multiple combinations. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 2,5 RATINGS: 8/ 1/ 2,7,9/ 5
