GOING: G(4)

Motree Thoroughbreds Maiden 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.56)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Dubai Affair leading the way. DUBAI AFFAIR (10) is busting to win and finds the right race. Led beaten a whisker here last time, and the 1400m will hold no fears in this line-up. MAJESTIC MOLLY (11) raced forward and missed a lip behind Miss Private over this distance. Fitter again and is a threat. BOHO STYLE (7) peaks, and went close at Hobart two back. Keeps a 3kg claim and draws to advantage. In the mix. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (1) will give away a start, but is going well enough to go into the trifectas. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Dubai Affair.
