RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MIELICKI (8) going well and does have a good stand record and placed at his only start at this track. A major chance. APEX (5) consistent trotter that rarely runs a poor race and expect another good showing here despite not having previously won from the stand conditions. NIGHT WHISPERER (7) does have a reasonable standing start record and looks suited and is a definite winning chance. SURPRISE TO ME (3) a narrow winner two starts ago under these conditions and is one of the chances along with handicap runners ICICLE (10) SONARMI JOH (11) and DELS DESTINY (9) whilst ATABOY CHARLIE (2) is a place hope whilst POPPY POPSTAR (4) CHAMPAGNES (1) and MY MOTHER SAID (6) are first four chances. EARLY SPEED: 2,3 RATINGS: 8/ 5/ 7/ 3/ 10/ 11/ 9/ 2/ 4/ 1/ 6
