RACING MATES MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Mofeed to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. BOBBY IS KING (13) has found one better in two runs back from a spell but hasn't been beaten far in either and handles a wet track. Everything points to him running well and maybe it'll be 20th time lucky. MOFEED (2) has been placed in five of his seven starts and resumes from a year off the scene. Showed fitness with a recent trial win and shouldn't be overlooked. BARRON (1) is a 29-start maiden but is usually not too far away. Fresh here, handles the wet and likes the track so has a case. BEAUTIFUL JO (6) and MONTE OUT'N'ABOUT (9) are worth considering each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bobby Is King to win. Save on Mofeed.
