GOING: G(4)

Dreamthoroughbreds.Com.Au-Bm70 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 13m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19).  

Strong tempo and Doc's Hero looks the most likely to take up the lead again. Doc's Hero should be prominent from out wide. Zambezi Diamond, Emerenta, Magna Rossa and Najmaat. NAJMAAT can be fairly easily forgiven for latest. Race set up for those swooping and she was up on the speed. Really liked her first up run from a break and she's well placed coming back to a 70 now. Going well enough to win this. MATERNAL has been consistent and backing up from the valley last week she looks set to peak. Has a good racing base this campaign now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Najmaat for the win off consistent form.
