GOING: S(7)

CNW - JOCKEYS CELEBRATION DAY MIDWAY 4YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 10m Entire.  

Plenty of pace with Uncle Alf and Ace's In Bloom making the most of their low draws and battling for early honours. MYTHICAL MOOCHI (7) has been above par in both runs from a break and should be ready to peak now. Probably spots them a start but should be getting serious when it matters. Lots to like. ACE’S IN BLOOM (3) resumes with some strong trial form and should be ready to improve off her first campaign numbers. Ideally drawn to make her presence felt. LADY ICHIKAWA (6) came home strongly first up over a shorter trip after she showed potential last campaign. In-form rider takes over and looks up to winning this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mythical Moochi win.
