Race Overview

There might not have been a great deal ahead of DUNKEL (1) around Sandown last time but he gave them all a headstart before rounding them up and winning pulling away on the line. Much too good there and he stands out on form to date. The difference this time might be SOUL CHOICE (7). Will press forward and get rolling in the first couple. Off the mark last time and will be fancied to improve again. Could take more pegging back and a chance to catch Dunkel out if they are too cute on the favourite. HARD TO CROSS (2) barrled away solid behind his stablemate Dunkel and should be around the mark again. KOKONOTSU (10) and MIDNIGHT GLOW (5) can improve through maidens.
