GOING: N

MILKWOOD STAKES 1000m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 18)    

They should really hum along here over the 1000m journey. THREE ROCKS (10) is a winner of her last two starts. She showed good pace last time, found another gear and won going away. She has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Richard Fourie retains the ride and she should prove hard to beat. CANDY TOWN (11) should have won her last start as she shifted away from the whip over the closing stages. She resumes from a spell and fresh-up should be hard to peg back at the finish. MYTHICAL DREAM (5) was running on when finishing fourth over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time. This is her first run for the Gavin Smith stable. Gavin Lerena rides and the pair merit obvious inclusion. GIMME'S LASSIE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Rates well as a top-three chance.
