Mauritius Race 3

7 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: $6,530

SOUND OF THE SEA (2) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by one length over 1450m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. FIREFLARE (1) finished third over 1850m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 21. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SUMMER SNOW (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1450m. Another big run expected. WUGUG (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
