GOING: S(5)

FRESCO CHEESE Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.90)  

King Of Minto, Spiethtacular and Dominant Darcy to match motors but there will be other pressure. Promising mare DOMINANT DARCY (6) went straight from a Class 1 to a Class 3 but coped exceptionally well over this distance at Doomben last start, driving late to just get the verdict. Getting up in the weights but at only her sixth start there is more improvement to come. SPIETHTACULAR (9) led for the judge in Dominant Darcy's race at Doomben last time out and was still there until the final bounds. Should control things again and with a 1.5kgs weight turnaround is a chance to exact her revenge. ZOUFANI (12) last appeared in that same race at Doomben, chasing hard but missing out by the barest margin. The draw makes it harder but at the third run back there is still progress to be made. JUST PRECIOUS (7) comes here off a decent effort over this distance at Doomben recently, albeit in midweek company. Ready to peak after three runs back but will need a 10/10 ride from the wide alley. AMUSEANTES (11) can improve on her latest effort after drawing a better gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dominant Darcy to get the job done again.
