DAVE MULLEN WINES HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

They look to roll along early with Sixinch Heels and Divine Impact leading the charge. SIXINCH HEELS (2) has been very impressive so far this campaign and looks to continue her rise through the ranks. Back to 1200m is no issue, though she's likely to get back in the run. Hard to knock what we've seen from her and she looks a good horse in the making. MAGNA'S CHOICE (1) resumes today following a good debut campaign where he was only 1.4L off the winner in the Placid Ark. His recent trial was okay, and the visors go on now. Can return on a good note. MIGHTY HOSANNA (10) was far too good fresh before she got too far back last start over 1100m here. Up in trip should suit and she's expected to be a touch closer from the barrier this time. Can bounce back to form. MAGALI MAGIC (8) just missed here last time out and should get her chance from the inside barrier. POND MASTER (3) won that trial Magna's Choice comes through and can play a role on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sixinch Heels can continue her winning ways.
