GOING: G

#theraces (Bm73) 1550m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.6).  

Maid Marilyn leads with some company from Alert By Sea and Regine. Maid Marilyn should lead comfortably here. Alert By Sea can also race handy. MAID MARILYN backs up from Saturday here and prepared to forgive that effort. Up to the 1550m looks the key here and she can race out in the lead and control proceedings here. Has obviously come through the last start well and we should see a different filly here. Big watch. VALREE is progressing through the grades nicely and looks capable of metropolitan grade. Was impressive last start in Highway company and comes through a strong Newcastle race prior to that. Will get back and be hitting the line late. Big danger. JAUNTY has been racing consistently in her last two starts and has the run at the mile under the belt to prepare her for this. Fitter now and ready to win third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaunty for the win.
