RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SWEET IDEAL (8) and SOAP AND BUBBLES (2) ran the quinella in a good race at Melton two Saturdays ago, and I fancy they’re the horses to beat here. SWEET IDEAL (8) was able to work around to the lead, run hot sectionals in front and hold off early leader SOAP AND BUBBLES (2) to score in a 1.51.9 mile rate for the 1720m. It was a great effort, and while she’s unlikely to find the front as the sole back row runner this time around, she possesses devastating closing speed and can charge over the top in the small field. SOAP AND BUBBLES (2) might dictate from the front and is ready to win, KEAYANG WASABI (4) finished third but was relegated to sixth in another good performance behind Some American last week, with DAY TWO (5) hitting the line hard for second in the same event.
