GOING: S(5)

Good Friday Racing 18th April Class 2 Hcp 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Mohnar leading the way. MOHNAR (4) resumes and has switched from a Victorian stable. Her best is good enough, and she's trialled sharply. Has a low gate and the leading hoop is aboard. KUSINI (1) resumes and has switched from the top Victorian yard. She has placed 2/3 fresh and is up to this presented on song. The inside barrier should be an advantage. CHEROKEE DANCER (3) is back in grade after a solid effort at Hobart. She's been threatening a win, and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. CAPABELLE (8) is also racing well enough to feature in a competitive race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Mohnar.
