GOING: G(4)

YARRAMAN PARK SHORTS 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.18).  

Strong early tempo assured with Way To The Stars, Coal Crusher and Mazu locking horns. I AM ME (6) classy mare who returned to her brilliant best when a slick first-up winner over 1000m in the G3 Concorde Stakes at this track on September 7. Maps to get the right run again and hard to see any of these turning the tables. PRIVATE EYE (1) warmed up late when the race was all over on resumption to finish fourth over 1000m in the G3 Concorde Stakes. Goes just as well second up and the extra trip is in his favour. MUMBAI MUSE (12) is third up for this and looks suited on the quick backup after finishing a narrow second to Sunshine In Paris over 1200m in the G2 Sheraco Stakes at Rosehill last Saturday. Will sit on the good tempo and figure prominently. LADY OF CAMELOT (7) Golden Slipper winner who resumed with a fighting third over 1000m in the G1 Moir Stks at Moonee Valley on September 7. Fitter now and can get cover from the sticky draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Me to win.
