Become an MRC Member Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large contingent of unraced runners. CLEAN REEF (1) ran well on debut at this track over 1000m, running on strongly from back in the field to grab third behind a pair of smart types. Quickly out to 1300m but that should suit the daughter of Lope De Vega. Looks the one to beat. NIGHT COLOURS (2) is coming off a dominant maiden win at Moe on heavy ground, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Harder here but she must be a strong chance again. DIOSA (6) is a filly by Yes Yes Yes on debut for the Chris Waller yard. She's won a jump out leading in and Damian Lane is booked to ride. Must be respected. SUPERCILIOUS (11) wasn't far away first-up and will be fitter. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Clean Reef to win.
