GOING: G(4)

MORETON HIRE DAYBREAK LOVER 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 5.86)  

Looks to be plenty of pace with Lutetia and Cole's Best battling for the lead. The $160,000 Listed Daybreak Lover. GOODLUCKTOME (3) has hit a purple patch of form winning three of his past four starts including one over this course and distance two back. Gets Maloney back on from the low draw and should give this a mighty shake. The well-related GIVE ME SPACE (1) (half to G3 winner Extra Time) has a strong record here at this circuit with two wins and a second from just three outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has won when fresh before and a strong showing would not shock. BOOMTOWN BOSS (5) returned in good order with a solid win here and Lang stays on top. Top-three candidate on that form. PISCES (2) is a Group 3 winner who will strip fitter with that first-up run out of the way. Open to plenty of improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Goodlucktome to win again.
