GOING: H

Commodore Htl Refurbished Mdn 1400m

Track: HEAVY10   Clouds (Max: 10)   Rail: True | Morning Frost.  

The race pace in this maiden field looks to be Belle De Val with Lipa Mala not too far away. MEANDEEL (1) is a visiting North Islander that drops back to a mile here but should be fine. Win chance in a field like this and a 2kg claim helps too. GO LOTTE (4) was a very distant third at last start. Sure to give a sight here. Quinella and trifecta must. BELLE DE VAL (5) has raced well of late and looks the leader here. Trifecta and first four must. CATS IN THE CRADLE (6) has drawn the inside gate and claims 2kg. Place and first four chance. LIPA MALA (7) gets the blinkers off. The first four is possible in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Meandeel and Belle De Val are win wagers.
