DONNA FLEMING MEMORIAL 1215m Track: SOFT True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

There is ample pace and pressure in this 1215m event from a range of barrier draws too. KOHEROA (2) is a multiple class dropper here. He handles it dry and wet too. Proven third up. Rider atop has not missed the top three on him. He should be winning this easily as everything points to him saluting in this line up. MERLOTTI (3) is a partial class riser. Placed in two of three runs here. Winning 1kg claimer atop here. NAXOS (4) is having his first race left-handed. Trained this direction. Trifecta and first four chance. WINEXPRESS (1) is an improver on his fresh up run. Drawn wide again. Include here for a place and the first four. POLLY PLUM (5) has been course placed. Always a trifecta and first four chance in fields like this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Koheroa is a win wager.
