GOING: H(9)

HUME DOORS & TIMBER CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1610m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m .  

Genuine tempo with Sacred Mistress leading the way. SACRED MISTRESS (6) has struck a purple patch of form, her most recent success the most impressive in the hat-trick. Yet to be tested at the mile but confidence grows with Loy piloting from a favourable draw. Can win again. BURROWA (1) has been below his best in his last two but finds a suitable assignment fourth-up stepping out in trip. Draws softly and is one of the key chances. HOT CONQUEST (10) progressed nicely last start when sticking on gamely into fourth here. Should improve again but will need some luck from the wide draw. ZAXTON (5) has been mixing his form but his best is good enough to give this a shake. Inside alley is a bonus. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Mistress can win again.
