BOWEN 27 Sep 2024

GOING: S(5)

BIG MANGO Class 3 Plate 1200m Track: SOFT 5 Rail: True.
Solid tempo with Northernontap leading with some pressure. MEMPHIS SHADOW (5) found more like his Victorian best second-up beaten 2L this grade/trip. Maps well and Wiggin's is a key jockey booking. He has plenty up his sleeve and fitter he can be winning. BURNS TO EMBRACE (1) won the CL2 at Cairns and then just missed there, before a plainer run last time. Needs a good ride, but with average luck can bounce back into the finish. NORTHERNONTAP (7) didn't finish it off last time but won as expected at Townsville prior. Stanley rides today and will likely push forward. Gets another chance. CANDLELIT (8) is also speedy and is busting to win. He draws even wider and that's the niggle. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Memphis Shadow.
