GOING: S(6)

MAEVA HOSPITALITY Class 1 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Very keen early battle with Blumstien and Warrant matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. MERCHANT FLYER (4) has come back in fine fashion placing here on both occasions and looks ready for the mile journey now. Strips fitter third-up from the spell and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. AICHI ICON (1) has been racing in harder contests down south and will appreciate the drop in grade here. Looks a serious player on best form. NEWMARKET MISS (15) doesn't win out of turn but has remarkably hit the top-five in 14 of her past 15 starts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. A must for the exotics players. DUMA (12) has placed over this track and trip and may earn some minor money. FREEMAN (7) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Merchant Flyer to win.
