GOING: S(5)

XXXX Ultra Class 2 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.90)  

Plenty of pace from Flying Animo, Marellity and Impactfull Miss primarily. TEN CARAT LUCY (10) resumed from a spell last start over 1100m at this track and finished second of 13 as the odds-on favourite after she was held-up with 300m to run. She drops 2kg in weight and racing over 100m more in a fitter state can go one better. FLYING ANIMO (4) finished second of 11 two starts back here, then finished a close-up sixth of 13 at this track over 1200m last start when well supported. Trained here and dropping 1kg in weight can atone. LIMERO (1) fought on well to the line last start to finish second of seven over 1000m at Sunshine Coast after racing well back in the running to the turn. Racing over 200m more in distance and in an easier line-up is well worth a second look. MARELLITY (11) scored an all-the-way win over 1100m two runs back at Mackay, then last start finished third of 11 as the favourite over 1100m at Mackay when racing on the speed after she made a poor beginning. Trained here and dropping 2.5kg in weight looks a main danger. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ten Carat Lucy looks well placed to return to winning form.
