GOING: G

APG TROT 2240m

Track: GOOD      

DICHOTOMY (6) made it two wins from her last three outings when she got home by 4.5 metres at this circuit last week. Draws wider and is up in distance but is proven at it. In form so can keep the ball rolling. MISS YO (8) is a newcomer to the Andy Gath yard from New Zealand. Hasn't raced for six-and-a-half months but looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and can measure up. MITCHELL WRAP (4) led from a similar draw when he won here last month so could give a sight. OUR MARVELLA (5) is also in the mix.
