GOING: N

CELEBRATING GORDON WARNER MAIDEN PACE 2190m

Track: GOOD      

MAURLEN GRACE (1) resumes after finishing seventh at her latest appearance at Melton on January 2. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can get the job done. CAPTAINS RUSH (8) was a head away in second at this track over 2190m last start at her first run back from a spell. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Meets a comparable field and she can take it to the next level. LA SMOOCH (9) ended last prep with a third at Kilmore over 2180m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. SON OF A BROAD (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth first-up over 2190m here last time out. Strips fitter now.
