GOING: S(7)

ive > Handicap 1440m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Gallant Prince has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. MISS ROUMBINI (10) is a lightly raced filly coming off a soft victory at Sandown-Hillside, scoring by 2.3 lengths. Should have no issue stepping up to 1440m and draws nicely. She drops 1.5kg in the weights and can measure up. VALOIS (3) is a consistent type who resumed with a good effort, just finding one slightly better at Mornington. Fitter for that and does drop 5.5kg with D Lane taking the ride. NAMESAKE (1) was just fair first up at Flemington over 1100m but is far better suited to this trip. Pieces of his form last time in read very well for this. FLYING FIZZ (6) was no match for Miss Roumbini last time but holds an each-way hope. ALECTRONA (12) is a progressive type who can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Roumbini on top.
