GOING: H(10)

WORLD WIRE CABLES CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True 400m-W/Post. Out 2m Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Waterville leading the way. MERCHANT LADY (7) was extra good in a two-start debut campaign and her recent open-class trial suggests she's right there for this. Takes on the boys as well but gets plenty of ticks. COCO DREAMING (6) is a slight query at the trip but has been above average in five starts to date. Got home hard first up and drawn to advantage. Go close this time. WATERVILLE (8) was a debut winner in a city maiden and trialled well against her own age recently. Can progress quickly this time in starting here. SHE'S ALL IT (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Merchant Lady win.
