STEPHANIE MURRAY MORTGAGES RATING 65 1400m Track: HEAVY 9 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo likely with Maria Pilar, Ikidunot and Iffin Doubt Dance prominent. MERCY (5) should continue what will be another successful day for the Kevin Myers stable, and he was only beaten by less than a length over 1200m here on the first day. That run will have him spot on for this similar assignment, and with an extra 200m being ideal, he can go one better. UNWOKE (3) ended his last prep with a win on the poly track here. He has been placed twice from 3 starts fresh up, and he will be ready to rumble. IKIDUNOT (1) was a game winner fresh up here and then was a bold third at Ashburton just over 5 weeks ago. He is still getting stronger, and is worth including in all top 4 combos. LITTERAL (7) has been slowly building her fitness level since coming south, and she is strong enough to step up to this trip fourth up from a spell. Each way value. DUJOUR (13) has been racing without much luck lately, and she had a flashing light about her when finishing fourth here 7-days ago. With the right run, she can take this out at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dujour each way.
