Race comment
OVERVIEW: NEPHEW OF SONOKO (9) has finished off strongly at his past two placed performances and this is a very similar line up compared to his effort last week so he must be considered as a winning chance. LITTLE YANKEE (8) finished off nicely for second behind Jilliby Ballerini last week and dashed home to win against similar opposition three starts ago so he looms as one of the leading hopes. MORE WANTED (5) is a fast beginner and used up plenty of energy early before ending up behind the leader when a creditable third last outing. He is yet to win in nine starts for the season but he is racing consistently and gets his chance under these conditions. REMUS PHOENIX (3) was performing very well at the trials prior to a disappointing first up ninth. He was much sharper in his handy finishing fifth last week and he has the ability to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible early leader), 2,7 RATINGS: 8,9/ 5/ 3/ 4,6

Race comment
OVERVIEW: NEPHEW OF SONOKO (9) has finished off strongly at his past two placed performances and this is a very similar line up compared to his effort last week so he must be considered as a winning chance. LITTLE YANKEE (8) finished off nicely for second behind Jilliby Ballerini last week and dashed home to win against similar opposition three starts ago so he looms as one of the leading hopes. MORE WANTED (5) is a fast beginner and used up plenty of energy early before ending up behind the leader when a creditable third last outing. He is yet to win in nine starts for the season but he is racing consistently and gets his chance under these conditions. REMUS PHOENIX (3) was performing very well at the trials prior to a disappointing first up ninth. He was much sharper in his handy finishing fifth last week and he has the ability to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible early leader), 2,7 RATINGS: 8,9/ 5/ 3/ 4,6

Race comment
OVERVIEW: NEPHEW OF SONOKO (9) has finished off strongly at his past two placed performances and this is a very similar line up compared to his effort last week so he must be considered as a winning chance. LITTLE YANKEE (8) finished off nicely for second behind Jilliby Ballerini last week and dashed home to win against similar opposition three starts ago so he looms as one of the leading hopes. MORE WANTED (5) is a fast beginner and used up plenty of energy early before ending up behind the leader when a creditable third last outing. He is yet to win in nine starts for the season but he is racing consistently and gets his chance under these conditions. REMUS PHOENIX (3) was performing very well at the trials prior to a disappointing first up ninth. He was much sharper in his handy finishing fifth last week and he has the ability to figure in the finish. EARLY SPEED: 5 (possible early leader), 2,7 RATINGS: 8,9/ 5/ 3/ 4,6
