GOING: G(4)

SAVE THE DATE 2025 LADBROKES GATTON CUP 28TH JUNE Fillies & Mares RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +1m 800m-300m, True Remainder .  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Miss Zermatt and Morganite kicking up to hold out the next wave. The honest MISS ZERMATT (7) has hit the top-five in nine of her past ten outings and looks to be building up to another victory. Has placed over this track and trip and gets some weight off with the 1.5kg claim. Should play a major role in the outcome. MORGANITE (9) broke the maiden status when resuming before a slightly disappointing performance last time out. Can bounce right back to form against this line-up. GLASS OF ROSE (2) can fill the frame if she brings her A-game while DOUBLESHARKATTACK (15) strips fitter second-up and may earn a cheque. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Zermatt to get a well-deserved victory.
