GOING: G

Luke Morgan Breaking Mdn Hcp 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: Out 4m 90mn-275m; Out 2m Remainder.  

Expecting Wiki to lead Loyal Romance at just a moderate tempo. HIGH COMMISSION (7) is ex VIC and improved again for the new yard missing a lip here 11 days ago up to this trip. Peaks now and can take this out. MOPITTS (12) keeps getting better and was slow off the latest as favourite. She'll make the finish again. WIKI (1) led and just went down at Port Macquarie. Lightly raced and drawn well she's well in the mix. MI GREYT MATE (3) was only beat 1.9L second-up and has more to give. First time at the mile and has to run it out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing High Commission to win.
