GOING: G(3)

MIO CAPELLO PROSECCO MUDGEE CUP DAY SPRINT SHOWCASE 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 34)   Rail: True.  

Small field in which Stratified can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. LAMBAY (7) raced without luck from the draw when twelfth at Randwick in Highway class two-back. Heavily supported into favouritism at latest, when a sharp winner over 1180m at Gundagai. Looks up to this stiffer test and hard to hold out whilst in this type of form. LIFE'S A PARTY (5) trained on the track and due for a change of luck. Sat on the speed when a respectable third over 1300m at Orange. Leading top-three chance. SARATOGA POWER (2) handy gelding racing in career best form. Just over three weeks between runs when he closed quickly for a game second over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Fitter now and gets his chance. STRATIFIED (3) comes into calculations now with the scratchings. Sprinted quickly when scoring over 1200m at Warren in good style. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lambay can get the job done again.
