GOING: H(10)

DUNSTAN HORSEFEEDS 2200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Peecee Pussycat should lead and dictate terms. TAIMATE DIVA (1) she is a course-proven runner. The mare has won five times at this distance and is a win chance here too. Should be winning again. VAGUE (2) was just beaten at last start by the top pick in this. The mare is course-proven already. Quinella and trifecta chance here for your multiples. TARAMEA LAD (4) has run well in two of his last three runs. Drawn the ace. Cannot be omitted from any of your combinations in this. LA EVITA (6) is a known swimmer. She has been course placed before. Cannot be omitted in this small field anywhere. PEECEE PUSSYCAT (5) has been course placed before. Can pay a place dividend or be in the first four here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taimate Diva is a win chance after a 4kg claim once again.
