GOING: H(8)

MATAMATA FUNCTION CENTRE 1200m

Track: HVY9     Out 3.5m  

There is good pace and pressure in this 3yo only Maiden event over 1200m. POETIC JUSTICE (1) drawn to win this fresh up no matter the footing. Logical winner. CITY GIRL (7) trial second earlier this month so ready to resume. Top tier must no matter the footing. NOT STRAIGHT LACED (8) fresh up. Course placed. Rain-affected footing would suit the most. MITRE PEAK (10) is a local and can pay a dividend here after a good run resuming. Bred to win more than once. DETAIN (9) is a 3yo filly on debut. Won her only trial very easily. Dam has left three multiple race winning foals with Keep Me Love (3 wins) and Fortune Warrior (3 wins) the most prolific. SUGGESTED PLAY: Poetic Justice is a win wager. Box the quinella as a saver of him, City Girl and Not Straight Laced.
