MACMILLAN ACCOUNTANTS 1560m Track: HEAVY 10 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace genuine with Pacifico and English Gambler pressing hard closely followed by Mister Roquette and Jaffira. LA MEZQUITA (12) absolutely bolted in fresh up. Class riser but drops 2.5kg here. Can win again for sure and will have serious backing too. DESERT MYSTIC (2) is a multiple class dropper here on his last start. Course proven. Chance here for sure down to 57.5kg after a claim. FIERCE FLIGHT (1) he has been twice trialled so is very ready to resume. Has won on dry and wet footing and is not out of this at all. BOZO (10) ran okay fresh up. Dual trial winner prior and has won second up before. Include her everywhere you can in this line up. JAFFIRA (13) he has been racing well of late. Drawn out. Must include if he is run here. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Mezquita is a win wager
