GOING: S(5)

MT VETTERS STATION & VETTERS CONTRACTING HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Secret Style, Treasured Queen and Talk It Up. SECRET STYLE (6) came good last campaign. Once she broke the maiden over this course and distance, she just kept on rolling. Off two trials, she would only need to be in the right mindset given the weights. TREASURED QUEEN (5) will be leading or right there and proving the one to hold out. She has never run a bad one at this track. CELEBRITY PRINCE (3) has been running solid races in metropolitan company. Just needs the confidence of a win. BAALBEK (4) is never that far away. Could pinch one soon. MUNGO JERRY (2) has been a month between runs. Has won races using that sort of preparation before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fancy Secret Style again.
