GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots Maiden 1220m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m 1200m-W/Post; +7m Remainder . (Pent: 4.60)  

Mister Manihi is expected to lead at a strong tempo. LADY FERN (12) keeps threatening and was backed off the map last time. The extra 100m should suit, and she deserves another chance. ARIANNA'S GOLD (11) is a threat, building on her narrow defeat here first-up. She went better than expected and draws the inside barrier. I'VE BEEN DREAMING (7) just missed at Hobart, and that stacks right up. The 3kg claim remains handy, but an outside gate curbs expectations somewhat. STAR WALKIN' (4) resumed with a 2L defeat here. Has an awkward gate, but with the extra fitness, should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Lady Fern.
