GOING: S(6)

Mailbag Bloodstock 3YO Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit.  

Pace is sure to be keen from Quoin and Forever With Ned striding forward, along with Mercurial Lady. Some promising types engaged from top stables. RHIA (12) resumed at Sale backed off the map, and looked a run short. She has more to give and races forward. Brown is a positive jockey engagement. DUNORI (2) resumes, and he led and went close at Ballarat in her only fresh outing. Missed 1L here before the spell and has jumped out twice. MERCURIAL LADY (9) resumes and has shown enough to say this is winnable, draws wide, but the lead-ups have been sharp. FLOWERDALE (6) resumes for a sharp juvenile yard and has looked good at the jump-outs. Draws awkwardly as well, but she also deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Rhia.
