GOING: G(3)

LUCKY MCGEE LADIES BRACELET 1350m

Track: FIRM 2     Rail: True.  

The Final Word to take up the running with Magic Defense and Hide The Oreos close at hand. THE FINAL WORD (4) did struggle last time out but his form before that was very sound. Close up at Darwin, he won the run before over this sort of journey. This is definitely the right place for him. HIDE THE OREOS (3) has been working up to his last start victory. He sat just off the pace and worked over the top. Does back up with that confident edge. THE GIRL'S BOY (1) has won eight times so gives you a sight most times. Just has to carry the weight. TOPAZ (5) has run her best races from up the front. Have to think they'll try that again. MAGIC DEFENSE (2) is probably best suited around this range. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving The Final Word another go.
