GOING: S

TAB BM58 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.6).  

Tricky to map but they should run along okay. Freedman-trained BRAVE MISS (16) gets into the field after scratchings with Damian Lane a key jockey booking. Showed a stack of promise in her first preparation and is sure to have come on. Kicking off at 1400m shouldn't hold fears. MERCHELLE (7) is fourth-up and has started at short quotes at her last two starts. Has Rawiller aboard today and she has pieces of form that would see her very competitive. HAZARD A GUESS (5) is racing well and gets another chance. DJOCKOVIC (1) resumes and can come back further improved. Has a 2kg claim and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Miss is promising.
