GOING: G

HKJC World Pool Northwood Plume Stakes 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. Another tough one to finish. PRAIRIE FLOWER (6) is a horse that needs absolutely everything to go her way given her habit of missing the start, but on her day she can reel off a late split that most of these would struggle to match. She flew home fresh in the Listed Wylie at Morphettville and if she can get on the back of the right horse without conceding too big a start, she can run a big race. AMEENA (1) has been solid in two runs back, luckless fresh before a good effort in the G1 Manikato Stakes last time. Back to mare's grade, she looks well placed. Not sure what to do with SHE'S BULLETPROOF (3) who was eased down fresh here, seemingly without an excuse. At her best she'd be a huge chance having run 2nd to Jimmysstar in a G1 Oakleigh Plate here in the Autumn. GUMDROPS (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prairie Flower each-way.
