|---|---|---|---|---|

Good pressure from the outset with Morus, Miraqua and Ponzi Pony taking up the running over Schedar and El Ultimo. STAR SHADOW (7) has been course placed before. She can handle dry and wet ground plus can cope in this drawing out wide. OUR KIWI GIRL (9) has not been too bad this time in so far. Wide draw in this. Chance here no matter the footing on offer today. MORUS (11) ran quite well fresh up. Drawn out once again. Still a trifecta and first four chance in this line-up. POMANDER (10) her first two runs this time in were both good efforts. Just a fair effort at her last start, however, she deserves another chance in this. Include in all of your multiples. BELLUTTA (8) she is proven fresh up. Chance at overs no matter the footing on offer today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Shadow and Our Kiwi Girl are win wagers.
