They should run this along with Faithful Champion and Miss Moov taking it up over Ankle Rolex. Really keen on DANGER MAN (5) to finish over the top of these in the last on the program. Looked to have a fair bit in hand last time when a handy winner and this shapes up as a logical progression. DESERT MIST (2) comes through the same race and will enjoy the distance rise on offer today. Tread warily with him engaged. KIEFFER (4) comes into consideration but will need to find a few lengths to be a serious contender today, while FAITHFUL CHAMPION (3) showed enough two starts back to suggest he could run a cheeky race today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thought Danger Man looked very impressive winning last start, and he's well equipped to go right on with it in this.

MISS MOOV
CHRIS POLLARD 5YO BAY MARE 57.0KG C G Pollard, J J Thornycroft, S Moo, L E Eales, BC Cairstairs & L Catoggio Most recently led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track 0 - 58 on May 24 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Danger Man carrying 56.5kg at $51. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at this track Cl2 on April 25 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Tannenburg carrying 54kg at $15. Will not find this easy. Game effort last time but this looks a deeper field, so looking elsewhere. |
