MONDIALE VGL - STAR PERSONNEL HANDICAP PACE 2200m

Track: SLOW      

MANTRA BLUE (6) ran third last start at this track over 2200m, beaten 2.25 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Finds a tougher race but a win is on the cards. MATAI PHIL (1) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 5.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. MINJEE (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m when fresh-up from a spell.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind The Surfer at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on April 25 at $29.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Minjee at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m on May 22 at $4. Nice effort last time. Solid top-three prospects.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 4th (Fr3) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 17 m by Reet Petite (2:44.50) in 3yo+ on January 17 at $1.90. Probably needs this hitout.
