GOING: S(5)

Mingari + Co BM66 Hcp 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 4.60)  

Slick pace with Street Diva finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. THE LAST HURRAH (2) was straight back in the winners' circle, leading and winning a CL2 here over 1200m. She has a strong record over this track/trip and draws the inside gate. Keeps the 2kg claim, and she can go on with it. GOLDEN MEADOW (1) peaks and is better than the form line suggests. Has been racing over shorter distances and she's won 4 times at this journey. The top hoop goes aboard today, and quick improvement is on the cards. STREET DIVA (3) won her only third-up start, and she's a chance racing forward. SKY LAND (8) turned the form around here and will carry just 53kg with the claim. Has been settling back but is capable of sitting closer. In the mix. Ditto TURF PUZZLE (9), who brings a nose defeat in a 60 and tumbles in weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: With The Last Hurrah.
