GOING: N

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of speed with Bird On A Wing, Laugh Till I Cry and Fantasy Girl leading Cosmic Cliffs and Am Still Winning. LAUGH TILL I CRY (1) has placed in her last two starts, the latest of which was over 1400m on the turf. Resumes from a spell and meets the right field here to shed her maiden tag. OH MANDY (2) was touched off in her last start over this course and distance. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Rates well as one of the leading contenders. BIRD ON A WING (3) was disappointing in her last start over 1400m on the turf. Her penultimate run when fourth over 1400m on this course was encouraging. She jumps from pole position and may be hard to peg back. FANTASY GIRL (5) finished second of seven here two runs back and is likely to add some value in exotic bets.
