GOING: G

MRS MAC'S HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.40)  

King Adviso should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. ZOURUN RUN (9) missed narrowly fresh but hasn't put a foot wrong since, winning twice over 1000m. Tougher again here, but she's a filly on the rise and getting out to 1200m again now is a big tick. Should get every chance from the draw and she can make her presence felt. MAGICAL SEQUENCE (8) flew through the grades last campaign, finishing with a bang when winning as an odds-on pop. She hasn't gone backwards in the break and Pike is unbeaten when riding the mare. She looks a very progressive type who can return with a bang. ATLANTIC SPIRIT (3) won two back before a disappointing effort in tougher company last time out when settling back in the run and never featuring. Out to 1200m now is the query, but the easier company should help and she can be finishing off strongly. SHMOOV MOOVA (5) can't be discounted on his recent form. JUST WALTER JOHN (12) was solid on resumption and can build on that effort with the rise in trip suiting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zourun Run can continue her winning ways.
