Wagga   28 Oct 2016
 
GOING: G(3)

Southern Oil Refining Mdn 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear   Rail: Out 5m1400m to WP, True Remainder.  

Captain Dan and Mrs Ed Misses Ed profile as the likely leaders. MRS ED MISSES ED has been thereabouts in her past couple of outings, the latest when fourth over 1800m at Wagga. The filly drops back in trip here and shapes as one of the hardest to beat. A SNIP OF CYNDY has mixed her form this campaign. That said, she was placed at Nowra last start and ran a close fourth at Kembla Grange three starts ago. Such form reads well in this line up. COTWAY made an encouraging debut at this course over 1000m. With race experience and fitness now under her belt, watch for improvement. A SNIP OF CYNDY just missed three back in stronger and was good placing last time at Nowra after a slow off. Can use the 2 gate with a decent kick and the Murray yard is not to be messed with at this venue. MRS ED MISSES ED is racing well and can cross and lead here. Comes back in trip but doubt that will bother. BOLSHOI DEVOUSHKA just missed here 2U as a hot favourite and didn’t have the best of it. Will go close with some luck off the wide draw. GUN TRACE is an improver and COTWAY has to be considered off a solid debut run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Go wide and play multiples with Mrs Ed Misses Ed, A Snip Of Cyndy, Cotway, Bolshoi Devoushka and Gun Trace.
