GOING: G

PFD Foods Fillies and Mares Marquee 18th April Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. MOUGENOT (4) returned from a break with a near miss over 1100m and will strip fitter. That was first defeat for the new yard having won all three at the tail end of last campaign. Back a notch and will go close again. BLACK ZOUS (1) was too quick with a strong win in slightly easier class latest. has the weight relief and in the same field will be hard to run down again. EXPERT WITNESS (2) has been freshened since behind well held in open class latest. Drops in grade and is a speedy galloper drawn the fence so will take catching. THROW AT DA STUMPS (5) is well back in trip and will be winding up late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Mougenot.
