GOING: G

Prime 7 News Mdn Plate 1257m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Speculative the lead. No pacemaker on paper so interesting to see who takes it up. SING US A SONG missed the start by a couple of lengths on debut but did get home well for fourth. Can improve sharply here and should go close. MON CHERI ran a good race last time when runner up and looks close to a win. Blinkers added for this and from a good gate will be hard to hold out. PRONTISSIMO was sound on debut over 900m when fourth. Further improved and nicely drawn. HIGH FLIGHT ran a much better race latest and can feature here with the repeat of that run. HIGH RUSH has trialled okay and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fancy Prontissimo. Wary the debutant and the market will inform.

Having third race start. At debut, slowly away (2l); 7th of 8 starters at Newcastle Mdn Hcp Dec 26 over 900m, 11-3/4 len behind Bridyn May carrying 55kg. Last start slowly away and wide throughout; ran last at Cessnock Mdn Plate Jan 9 over 900m, 12-1/4 len behind Cozursmart with 57kg. Others offer greater appeal.

Should need run.
