GOING: G

JOHN MCGRATH AUTO GROUP PLATE 1900m

Track: Synthetic   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Off the low draw Treasure Hunter should lead at a genuine tempo. MAMMA MIA (4) broke her maiden at Goulburn before tackling better races her past couple, but her recent trial was very solid. Back to country grade today is a good move, as is the firmer footing of the Acton surface. Winkers replace the blinkers today and she can get back to winning ways today. TIMELESS GRACE (6) is racing in good order, coming through a strong form race at Albury last time out. JVO rides now from a good draw and she should land in a handy position. Right on the cusp of a win and rates highly on recent efforts. ENCAMPMENT (7) turned in a strong performance last start on the Riverside at Wagga last time out despite going under as the favourite. That form stacks up here and the visors go on now. Out in trip now looks to suit and he can go one better. TRAGEDIES (12) won't be far away as she comes back to country level today. O CARA MIA (3) can improve on the fresh run where she was solid. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mamma Mia looks the one to beat.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 10 at Bathurst Cl1-Sw on May 12 over 1800m, 8 len behind Michelangelo with 57.5kg at $11. The race before that sat on the pace before fading 8th of 12 at Wagga Ctry Cl2 on April 30 over 1400m, 3 len behind Spread The Love with 55kg at $51. This looks a stern test.

The run before that 2nd of 8 at Sapphire Coast Mdn on May 3 over 1205m, 1.75 len behind Ransaigh Star carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. Can improve and should figure in the finish.
