MERRYLANDS RSL CLUB HANDICAP 1100m Track: Soft 5 Rain (Max: 16) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.39) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong tempo assured with Without Parallel, Shaggy and Roselyn's Star rolling to the front. WITHOUT PARALLEL (10) Time Test mare who keeps raising the bar as she steps up in grade. Returned solid figures when smashing a handy Highway field by 5 lens over 1200m at this track. Drops further in weight with Roper's claim and expected to get the job done again. POLYGLOT (6) smart fresh gelding who attacked the line strongly first up when an unlucky second over this track and trip. J Mac sticks and he should get the right tempo from the wide draw. ROSELYN'S STAR (3) went forward from the sticky gate on resumption when a tenacious fourth over 1100m at this track. Returned in good order and gets a much better set up today. Leading prospect undefeated second up. CATCH THE GLORY (4) tough mare ready to win. Came out of the pack late when a narrow third over 1100m here. Should get a faster tempo and Hyeronimus sticks. SHAGGY (14) comes here third up after disappointing in the G3 Vain Stakes over 1100m at Caulfield. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Without Parallel to remain undefeated.
