#YOUCANBETONUS! FM 74 HANDICAP 1200m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1200m journey. MARSHMALLOW (5) won a good race over this course and distance last time when resuming from a spell. She set the pace and found more where it matters most to hold all challengers at bay. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in that run has come out and won since. She can follow up with another victory. STRANGE MAGIC (6) finished 1.75 lengths behind the top selection last time. Rates well to finish in the money again. STRATA (2) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be coughing. She drops back in class and on best form shown, she should be involved in the fight to the finish. GREENLIGHT DANCER (7) showed good improvement when second over 1400m on this course last time. She raced from a handy position and stayed on well at the finish. Chase Maujean retains the ride and if confirming her recent improvement should finish in the money.
