GOING: H

G.H. Mumm Mdn Plate 1100m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.03).  

Maddison Miss will go fast but there are few first starters lining up who could keep her honest. BORN TO RUN (8) looks a good chance in an open race. She's run second at both Australian starts and was only run down very late last start at this track and distance. Third up now, she can settle handy to the speed from a good gate and go close. LUCKY BLUE (3) was good in the same race last time when well in the market. He's had a few chances but keeps racing well and shouldn't be far away. COURAGEOUS HEARTS (2) resumed with a solid third at Balaklava and will strip fitter. He was beaten by some handier horses last time in and this looks a good race for him. COMMANDER MEROO (1) is a gelding by Epaulette out of Avoid Lightning making his first appearance. This isn't overly tough and he can win on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Born To Run to win.
