|
Solid tempo with More Mischief to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. OTONO (5) trained on the track and racing in career-best form. Rounded up a handy field when coming from last on the turn to score a comfortable win over this trip at Wyong on February 27. Up slightly in weight and has a massive fitness edge over some of these. Hard to stop again. PERFECT JUSTICE (6) well-bred gelding starting to put it all together. Shed his maiden status two-back in good style, before racing on the pace for a game second over this trip at Canberra. Will be in this for a long way again. MORE MISCHIEF (12) big jump in class from the wide draw when a fading seventh over 1600m at Warwick Farm in BM72 class. Will hold a forward position from the inside gate and has each-way prospects. MONKHANA (4) produced slick figures when winning two-back at Hawkesbury. Then up in grade from the sticky gate when a tiring ninth over 1400m at Warwick Farm on March 5. Backs-up quickly and will need plenty of luck from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Otono each-way.
