GOING: S(5)

MC POLYTRACK MAIDEN 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +13m Entire.  

Cracking tempo with Nistirith and Roaming America leading the way. MAMMA SAYS SO (9) resumed with a narrow defeat here and then got closer again at Bunbury. She was one of the worst into stride and endured a wide run following. Fitter again and she can break through. NISTIRITH (7) led beaten 1L at Belmont and also presents third-up. She will jump and run out of the inside barrier and has more up her sleeve. BONDITRAM (3) resumes and has shown enough to say he's a chance. Just missed in a recent Lark Hill trial and the 3kg claimer sticks from that. The gun hoop is booked for BOUTIQUE BELLE (10), who has trialled well for her resumption. She'll also be naturally improved and has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Mamma Says So.
