GOING: G(4)

LADIES DAY SUNDAY OCTOBER 13TH - FREE ENTRY HANDICAP 1413m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Little early speed means Rockstar Status and Manhattan Strip will find themselves in leading roles. MAJOR MARIO (5) went under narrowly in Saturday grade last time out, beaten in a photo finish after sitting up on the pace throughout. He'll find this much easier and staying at this trip is a big tick. Should get his chance from the inside draw and if he runs up to his recent form, he'll take plenty of beating. FORTUNE'S LUCK (7) is ticking along nicely without winning, running some strong races in CL5 grade at Northam and Bunbury of late. She maps to be in the first few again today and coming back to this level looks ideal. She's expected to be there at the finish. BAYHARA (6) was very good in two wins here before holding her own in town at the end of last campaign. She's a two-time winner over this trip and she comes into this without a trial. Expecting her to run a bold race. MANHATTAN STRIP (2) may improve with the drop back in trip and the form out of her last start has already been franked, twice. PIERRA ART (10) can improve again third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Major Mario looks the one to beat.
