GOING: G(4)

FARNAN@KIAORASTALLIONS MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.98)  

Cracking tempo with Mercy Me and Sosueme leading the way. MERCY ME (10) is a promising mare resuming for the Doyle camp. Went under on debut as a firm favourite at Wyong back in July but looks to have come on nicely during the break off sharp lead-up work. Draws the inside and should get all the favours. Can make the perfect start. Stablemate SOSUEME (8) is another progressive type resuming. Showed glimpses in her debut prep and, like her stablemate, looks improved after a pair of 1000m trials. Drawn sticky but should make a bright return. NANOTAQ (5) resumes a gelding for the Lees camp and has taken benefit from two trials in readiness. May need the run off a 273-day break but is worth thought at each-way odds. MAGURTZ (3) is a Tassort gelding on debut who looks above average. Trialled sharply and can make an immediate impact. TOO DARN FINESSE (12) is another handy type from the Lees camp and adds depth. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mercy Me to win.
