GOING: G(3)

AFGRI MINGENEW CUP 1900m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Pace looks genuine from Rockstar Status, Lucky Heart and Northeast Eagle, closely attended by Set The Scene. BAYHARA (8) has come of age this prep and has won 2 of her last 4 starts, including last time out when she flew home late to get up in the last stride to score by a head. She won't find this much harder and carries 2.5 kilos less this time. An extra 300 metres is ideal and with a handy gate, she is the one to beat again. HONORFIC (2) is normally very competitive on this track and around this distance range. He will find this easier than his last few runs and with the aid of a 2 kilo claim, he should be right in the finish. LUCKY HEART (5) has improved his form since racing in the country and he is likely to take up the early pace here. He is nicely placed at the weights and could be hard to peg back. Include in all combinations. ROCKSTAR STATUS (3) has been working her way through the grades in this campaign and was a tough winner over a mile here nearly 3 weeks ago. She will secure the run of the race from the pole position and another win would be no surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bayhara to win.
