THE MISTLETOE MILE CLASS 3 1600m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 27) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo primarily from Capsaicin, Go Grayson Go and Etiquette over Wiccan Warrior and Treaty Of Paris. Hard to fault IMPOSING (9) who has won his last three. Yet to win at the mile and meets the runner-up worse at weights but just keeps winning and expected to go close again. WICCAN WARRIOR (11) has been going well without winning, the latest runner-up behind Imposing. Meets him 2kg better and can turn the tables. KITCHAKAL (2) is fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1600m now after two runs in. Never won at the journey but appears to be looking for it now. TREATY OF PARIS (1) has found winning form. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside stall.
