GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES CALCUTTA & LUNCHEON 12 JUNE Fillies & Mares Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.19)  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Zoufani. Looks a race with a stack of chances. ZOUFANI (11) is a consistent performer who has only missed a drum once in eight career efforts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Ready to peak now fourth run back and should be right there at the business end. ACAPULCO GIRL (1) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Can bounce right back to form without surprising. BREEZIN' (12) boasts a win over this course and distance and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Top-three commodity. The well-related MERCURIAL LADY (5) (half to G1 winner Cool Archie) saves her best form for this distance range and maps ideally for this from gate two. In the mix. POCKETMONEY (6) next in line with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,1,12,5.
