|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Fast tempo assured with Royal Mermaid, Umzolozolo and Kesari going toe-to-toe. UMZOLOZOLO (7) stayed on well when fifth over 1400m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She should love the rise to 1750m. She is having her peak run and in this field, she can shed her maiden tag. ROYAL MERMAID (1) is better than her last start on the polytrack would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. Her penultimate run when third of 10 on this course was encouraging. Has each-way claims. MAGIC MAVERICK (2) stayed on well when fourth of eight over 1600m on this course last time. She should enjoy the extra distance on offer and she can finish in the placings. TAKATALVI (6) is better than her last start run over 1400m on this course looks on paper. On best form shown she can finish in the money.
