GOING: G(4)

VALE LIL RICCIARDI, A TREASURE GONE HANDICAP 1627m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 6m Entire.  

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Black Sands, Blitz and Sky View to control the tempo. MYSTERY BULLET (1) improved again winning his Maiden here up to this distance off solid efforts at Pinjarra. In a strong metro barn (D & B Pearce) and on a 23-day return can take the next step. BLACK SANDS (2) just missed behind the above and has since switched from the Pearce yard. Peaks now and is a chance. DARK MIST (4) comes back in grade and the form before her last would give her a hope. Finally has a decent gate. SKY VIEW (5) has needed the three runs this preparation and can improve into a minor slot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mystery Bullet.
