MATAMATA TRACTORS & MACHINERY 1050m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 6m  

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1050m journey. SISTER CYNANE (5) has run second fresh up twice so far. She had four trials before her debut for three wins and a third. Big chance to win this resuming wide draw and all without a doubt. MISS FLADGATE (7) has drawn out again after a good debut second. She had been trialling well prior to her first start as well. Top two must here for certain. MIRIAM (8) has drawn out here. Not out of this fresh up at home to be in the trifecta and first four for sure. OUR BEAU (3) was a trial third earlier this month. Well drawn. Not the worst at all here. XPLORER (4) he is open to plenty of improvement. Trial winner here before debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sister Cynane and Miss Fladgate are win wagers.
