RACE COMMENT
GO MIKI (4) is a progressive colt who has won both starts this time in. Very impressive last time at Melton where he drew on the back row and raced three wide without cover before cruising home by 13m. Was beaten just a nose into second in a NSW Derby heat earlier in the year and won his lone try at the distance. Hard to stop. SOHO THE REAL DEAL (2) has been racing well at this circuit with a win and two placings from his last three starts here. A low draw can see him in the finish again. PERFECT STRANGER (6) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who has looked good in winning his two starts since a spell. Draws wider and is up in grade but won his lone try at the distance. SAO PAULO SIMBA (8) hasn't raced since March but is unbeaten fresh. Draws wide but is two from two at the distance and two trial wins suggest he is in good order.
