GOING: S(5)

THE PINK FIGHT MIDWAY 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Autumn Blonde should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. AUTUMN BLONDE (1) was far from disgraced in group company in the Autumn and produced a steady effort over a shorter trip first up. Gets a massive class drop for a put in take out opportunity. Stablemate BREEDERS SUN (7) has been trialling solidly of late and held her own in a provincial debut in April. Sweetly drawn for what should be a strong return to racing. The market money missed on RAYGUN EXPRESS (8) when well supported on debut. Rails draw and blinkers on means she’s well worth another look. YAKAMOZ (5) draws ideally on home track and gets an obvious early tick from the stable going race day off just one trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Blonde win.
