GOING: G

Weekly Advertiser Mdn Plate 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.27).  

Not a great deal in the way of pace here. NOW'S HER TIME didn't have a lot of luck on debut in tougher race. Has good upside and expected to go close. CONGRATULATE has been thereabouts and can measure up here. Not far away last couple over six furlongs and suited at the extra ground. Rates well and gets chance. STAGE FRONT is fitter for two runs back and is ready to win. Fourth latest when tended to struggle in the soft ground and looks a strong winning hope here. ANGOLA MISS is fitter and looks an each way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Now's Her Time has good upside and worth following.
