GOING: G

Sportsbet Proud Miss Stakes 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1200m-W/Post; +2m Remainder.  

From their wide draws Unconquerable and Pure Bliss can establish a strong tempo. BRIDAL WALTZ (13) ran strong time in front when leading pillar-to-post at Mornington over this journey. Open to further improvement third-up and gets the key booking of J Melham. A repeat effort will see her go back-to-back. NEW YORK LUSTRE (5) returned in sharp order with a decisive first-up win at Moonee Valley, making it five on the bounce. Draws well again and is 2/3 over 1200m. Sure to be very competitive. CLEO CAT (6) was impressive when resuming, putting away a small field at Warrnambool. Has enough tactical speed to overcome the wide alley and looms as a serious threat. LOVELY LOOKIN' (9) made light work of her rivals when resuming here last week. Strips fitter on the quick back-up and deserves respect. SEE YOU IN HEAVEN (1) never gave a shout when resuming in the G1 Robert Sangster. She's much better than that effort and this is nowhere near as tough. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bridal Waltz to win.
