MVRC MEMBERS DAY 27 MAY MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

A keen early contest with Wandabyne and In My Dreams leading from Sweden. IN MY DREAMS (2) two runs back have been full of merit and handles all conditions. Nice return when placing two back before jumping in grade when a tiring sixth over 1000m at Kembla Grange on April 27. At her top now and will take plenty of stopping. POCKET EIGHTS (1) much better performance at second race start when he motored late to secure fourth over 1000m at Gosford on April 25. This much easier and looks one of the only dangers. MY MATE COBBER (9) returns after five months in the paddock and has a good fresh record. Anchored with the 59kg when a plugging fifth over 1405m at Coffs Harbour on November 30. Goes well this trip and place claims look best. CLASSIC POETRY (8) returns from a lengthy spell and now in the care of Nathan Doyle. Fitted with two sharp trials and the blinkers come off. Look for a bold showing fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,1,9,8.
