GOING: H(10)

RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race 1600m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.83)  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Nevra Queen a potential leader. After the key danger has come out, COSMIC (4) has strong claims. She was racing well last time in, getting over a bit more ground. Fancy she could still have some upside and this trip suits fresh in what looks a very winnable affair. FRIDAY AT FIVE (5) struggled in much tougher company at Warrnambool latest, her form prior gives her a solid each-way hope here. BOW RIBBON (3) was close up at Echuca last time in fourth after having run into the placings at Werribee prior. He should be right there once more. TAURI (2) can mix form but the placing here two back reads well and she should be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic to win.
