GOING: S(7)

HOOTS AND BOOBS 1200m

Track: SOFT 7     True  

The race pace here looks not too bad overall in this 1200m event. LUXURIANT (5) fresh up and has won in this state before. After a claim drops to 55kg. Threat for sure. MERLOTTI (1) resumes here. Won her Maiden fresh up. Senior rider atop. Wet tracker. INTREPID GIRL (10) is a chance after a 3kg claim. Dry tracker. MIGHTY CASTLE (6) his course record is super. Wide draw. Good trial fourth earlier this month. RAVEN (4) is a partial class riser. Won his Maiden fresh up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luxuriant and Merlotti are win wagers.
