Buster's Girl can work over from a wide draw to lead. HARD SOLO (11) won't know herself in this grade after tackling the Magic Millions 3YO when fresh off a 63-day break. For her formlines, she carries no weight with Faithfull hopping back on board. Draws perfectly today and her formlines make her the one to beat. BUSTER'S GIRL (7) led and won over this track and trip last time out, making every post a winner. Drawn wider out here, but her early speed should see her get across and Murray's claim will see her very hard to run down. DUBAI'S DAUGHTER (3) resumes here without a trial after disappointing in Saturday grade prior to the break. This looks a good spot for her return however and she is a fresh winner in the past. Can play a leading role. MEAT PIE ARTIE (1) was far too good last time out as the odds-on fav. This is tougher, but he has to be included on that recent run. ROYAL ACCOLADE (2) was behind Meat Pie Artie last time out and is right in this in his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard Solo can get back to winning ways.

MEAT PIE ARTIE
TROY MAHOOD 5YO BAY GELDING 61.0KG T B Mahood & T J Mahood Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track Rtg 58+ February 20 over 1100m defeating Royal Accolade carrying 58.5kg at $1.65. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track Rtg 70+ on February 13 over 1100m, 0.6 len behind Dothraki with 54kg at $2.05. Wouldn't surprise to see him repeat the dose. |
