GOING: H

Mangalore Park Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 5.5m Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. RUSKA ROMA (11) placed on debut and there was a stack of merit in the effort. She has a trial and jumpout under the saddle in readiness for her return and will begin from the inside gate. The Begg stable are flying at 30% from their last 50 runners and they strike at 20% when they get Childs in the irons. Childs has been with her every step of the way and she looks to have a class edge on her rivals. OTTOLENGHI (10) debuts drawn inside and has looked smart at the jumpouts. Jamie Melham is booked and she can play a major role for the Busuttin and Young team. NARAGHI (9) was only fair on debut, but strikes a suitable race here and she can be an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ruska Roma appeals most.
