GOING: G

Mitavite Athlete Plus BM64 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m, Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.24)  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Mishare and Lady Brightside leading the charge. LADY BRIGHTSIDE (8), the sister to champion Mr Brightside, showed all of her brother's fighting qualities on debut with a tough win over this track and distance, repelling the late challengers when there to be beaten. Have to think she'll improve off that and she maps for every chance. HOT PURSUIT (12) is going well without winning in three runs this campaign, solid as favourite in a bunched finish here last time. Each-way. STORMFRONT (1) could measure up as could SUPERSET (2). SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Brightside to win.
