GOING: H(8)

TEAM WEALLEANS 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8     Out 9m  

The race pace looks solid enough here in this Open Class event over a Mile. MUSTANG VALLEY (1) is a multiple class dropper here after a reasonable fresh up fifth at G2. Has been course placed. Dual winner second up importantly. Easy trial winner since. TERRA MITICA (4) has been placed in two of his three second up runs. Best on decent footing. Quinella and trifecta chance. LADIES MAN (2) is a dual winner second up. Has won on dry and wet footing. Include everywhere no matter the track conditions posted here. VAL DI ZOLDO (11) was a good run resuming when close up. Drops 1.5kg. Each-way on dry or wet ground. ARBY (7) is an improver on his fresh up run. Has won on dry and wet ground too. Not totally out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mustang Valley and Val Di Zoldo are win wagers.
