ROBYN MACTAGGART CUP 1300m

Track: SOFT     Out 4m  

The race pace looks not too bad at all here in this Open Class event over 1300m. MASTER FAY (2) is a multiple-class dropper in this after running at G2 last time. Down 2kg here too so he is deadset thrown in at the weights. First try at 1300m. Still the one to beat. WILD NIGHT (3) has been twice trialled so he is very forward fresh up. Has won on dry and wet ground. Group 2 winner. Quinella and trifecta chance. BLISSFUL BELLE (5) is a multiple-class dropper on her fresh-up run. Placed in all three runs second up. Obvious chance. NO RAIN EVER (8) she has had three fresh-up runs for two wins and a placing. Well drawn. Trial fourth last month. ROYAL FLOWER (6) was a trial winner recently so ready to resume. Proven fresh up. Swimmer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Master Fay and Blissful Belle are win wagers.
