NARROMINE USMC ALL VETERANS F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Poppy Boxer the likely leader, Our Celebrity shouldn't be too far away. OUR CELEBRITY (8) was a drifter in betting on debut at Moree but stuck on well to run third there. Fitter for it and she's a good chance. I'M INDEPENDENT (7) was a well-supported favourite at Wellington and was a shade disappointing for an odds-on shot. Give her another chance. POPPY BOXER (9) has been thereabouts in two starts to date and doesn't need to improve much to be a contender here. SENALDA (3) and THE MOOCH (5) are worth considering for all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Celebrity to win. Save on I'm Independent.
