GOING: S

WANGANUI INSURANCE BROKERS MDN 3YO 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 3m  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. MELTEMI (4) has run good seconds in both his starts so far. Leader. The filly can win this. COLOUR CHART (1) has run well in three of his five starts. Can handle dry and wet ground. Top tier must. FLEUR DE BLUES (6) is a three-year-old filly (U S Navy Flag - Honfleur) on debut. Has trialled on four occasions for a win and two seconds. Dam has left the full sister Ever Charm (2 wins). Chance here. ZAHTAR (5) has been once placed after leading up. Trialled well twice before debut. Chance. MISS FIREBALL (7) was well-supported at debut, 5th of 9 at Waverley on January 29 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Dramatic Miss with 55kg at $3.60. Placed in both trials prior to first start. Can place or be first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Meltemi is a win wager.
