GOING: G(4)

GORJUS MUDGEE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

A Bar In Paris to take charge ahead of Painite at a good tempo. A BAR IN PARIS (9) two-year-old filly resuming. Comes out of handy race when sixth on debut over 900m at Newcastle in the Max Lees Classic. Fitted with two good trials and should prove too sharp for these. LUNA LINDT (6) is a three-year-old filly having her first run for the Angus Stewart yard. Even debut when fifth on the Ballarat Synthetic eight months ago. Fitted with two jump outs at Cranbourne and looks to come here in good order. Keep safe. ROTHO BRO (3) resumes after showing ability on debut when third at Goulburn over 1000m last November. Fitted with two average trials and gets his chance from the inside draw. GHAZNAVI (4) resumes for a new stable. Has shown glimpses of prmising through his career to date, placing on three occasions. SUGGESTED PLAY: A Bar In Paris to get off the mark.
