GOING: G

Race 9 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Locus Marianne and Delizia up front. DELIZIA (6) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1200m at this track. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from six starts and is among the leading chances. LOCUS MARIANNE (7) went fast early and went on to score by one length last time out over 1200m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. MANEUVER (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run eight months ago when fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal. NAMURA MICK (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
