GOING: S(5)

Mikaela Claridge 0 - 58 Hcp 1610m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Mickio and Dusty's Deel leading the way. JAZ TYCOON (2) had his first start outside 64 grade for this stable last time, which not surprisingly, resulted in an improved performance. That was at this track, where he has had two starts for a win and a third so he clearly likes the place. MICKIO (5) is a horse who showed a bit of staying promise with Lindsay Park early in his career and he's had a couple of other homes since then but ran a nice race for the new stable first-up. Stays at the mile second-up, which is a slight query, but this is easier than last start. FOGGY BOTTOM (4) was too bad to be last start but was a nice winner the start prior and had trialled well after it so you've probably got to forgive him that run. DUSTY'S DEEL (3) hasn't been to the races since February but ran some nice races last prep and was a five-length winner of a recent Bendigo trial. MILLVINA (7) has been well-held at two runs back but the latest was in a 64 race in town, so will find this much more to her liking. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaz Tycoon to win.
