GOING: G

Rosemont Stud 0-64 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25).  

Fast tempo assured with Delightful Journey and The Marg Factor going at each other early in the piece. MORNINGTON PIER (5) resumed with an encouraging run at Bendigo, running on powerfully from back in the field to go down narrowly in second. He took on some very strong 3yo races last time in over a staying trip and looks well placed out to the mile here. THE MARG FACTOR (11) will take catching. She was below her best last start at Moonee Valley but wasn't beaten far and her form prior reads nicely. Maps ideally and will go close. STATUARIO (13) is lightly raced, coming off a maiden win here over 1400m. Tricky draw but D Lane sticks and he can measure up. RUADA (8) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Mornington Pier.
