GOING: F

GARRARDS HORSE AND HOUND MAIDEN PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 22)    

FRANCOS DELIGHT (9) was a head away in second at this track over 2030m last start at her first run back from a spell. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of getting the job done. MISS ADONIS (1) finished eighth last start over 2030m here, but beaten only 7 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this circuit. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MIKI BE FREE (5) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2030m at this venue. MIKI LEE (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2030m at this course last time out. Can earn a cheque.
