GOING: S(5)

VALE SUE BEATON MAIDEN PLATE 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Mediterranean Miss and Look Closer leading the way. LUNAR SISTER (5) has changed stables since last racing and meets the right sort of field fresh up for her new trainer. A 1.5 kilo claim will help her and in this lineup, the markets will be an important guide. Each-way. MEDITERRANEAN MISS (9) was a beaten favourite on debut at Grafton 4 weeks ago but did show a lot of natural pace that day. She is drawn perfectly and is worth another chance. Follow your money. LOOK CLOSER (4) is a lightly tried 6-year-old mare who will be peaking third up. She has shown ability in her short career and can't be ruled out of a top-three finish in this. THE BELL JAR (10) resumed at Grafton over 1020m last time out and finished eighth. Fitter and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mediterranean Miss each-way.
