GOING: U

Race 10 1300m

Track:      

From the inside gate Maria Bouquet should show enough dash to hold the lead, with pressure from T M Falx. CAUNCALL (6) was successful again last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 0.8 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Winning rider Manato Hida retains the mount. Major player. MUKORITTA (8) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored as favourite over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. T M FALX (2) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Deserves serious consideration. MARIA BOUQUET (1) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
