GOING: H(10)

WILF AND ROSEMARY MULA 50TH ANNIVERSARY MILE 1600m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.26)  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. Tough way to end the day. MORNINGTON PIER (12) undefeated since joining the Doyle yard and races best with his runs spaced. Kept up to the mark with an 1100m tick over trial and proven at the trip and in the conditions. NARBOLD (11) one of several Waller runners deep into his prep. Rewarded for his consistency with a tough BM72 win over 1550m at Randwick Kensington. Comes out of some strong races and has genuine top three prospects. GLAD YOU THINK SO (5) kept fresh ang gets his chance in this stronger field. Won well over this track and trip in Midway grade at latest and since fitted with an 1100m tick over trial. Keep safe. BELLA KHADIJAH (16) underrated mare further improved for this who drops in weight at the good each way quote. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 12,11,5,16.
