MRC Membership Feel The Thrill Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Good pace from Dreamzel, Nasraawy and Rattle And Bang. HERBERT PARK (4) is a lightly raced mare back in grade after tackling a city assignment at Caulfield latest. Fitter again and did win only other try when third-up. Gets a chance to find winning form. DREAMZEL (8) is a super honest galloper who raced here last time and after racing on speed fought on well for third. Has placed both tries this course and distance. Has the claim and a low draw and will take running down again. CHARMED RUN (7) was second last fresh but only a few lengths away and in city grade. Drawn for a soft run with cover and with even luck can improve sharply. NASRAAWY (10) was a winner five back then super honest in the four runs since. Has good speed and will be in this for a long way again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Herbert Park.
