GOING: S(7)

MRC Membership Made Of Moments Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Fast pace assured with Set Me Loose, Gunz and Farcited leading the charge. Open race and the resuming FARCITED (4) is the interesting runner. He's off a very long spell having not been seen since the Golden Slipper last year. He'd looked good winning the Black Opal Preview on debut and is now with the Freedman yard. He's won a jumpout leading in, the late betting will be key. FLY BY LIGHT (11) resumes. He won dominantly when well backed on debut at Cranbourne, struggling next time out again when favourite. He gets in light after the claim and expect him to measure up at odds. SET ME LOOSE (13) is a progressive filly who won dominantly first up at Seymour, having done similarly before a spell. She's got the run under the belt and will take plenty of catching. STAR TRIP (14) looked good in two runs last time in, beating Gold Coast Belle on debut as favourite before a close up effort at Mornington. He can be charging late. MAD ABOUT MAGNUS (15) has won two on the bounce and can figure again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Farcited & Fly By Light.
