GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES MICK DITTMAN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Malaboom should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. Lightly raced filly HIP HIP HURRAH (11) comes here off a couple of decent runs at Group 3 level in Melbourne this prep. Showed pace but weakened late in her most recent outing over 1200m at Moonee Valley. Makes plenty of appeal coming back to Listed company over a shorter trip. Three-time stakes winner CIFRADO (1) returns from a 15-week break. Just missed the placings here at this trip when fresh from a spell last prep, then progressed to win the Group 3 Rough Habit over 1350m later in the campaign. Recent trial winner who should make his presence felt. Smart filly SKIRT THE LAW (7) is back after a seven-month absence. Flew late to just miss in the 1100m Quezette at Caulfield first-up last prep. Big trial winner on 11 April so she looks ready to run. MALABOOM (10) has been kept fresh since being edged out here five weeks ago at today's journey. Listed winner with definite claims from the nice draw. ABOUNDING (6) is a gun when fresh and cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hip Hip Hurrah each-way in a strong race.
