OVERVIEW: Typically speaking, these second tier metro maiden or 1MW events which close out Saturday night cards are almost impossible to assess. Thankfully, that’s not the case tonight. Despite her superficially mercurial figure form, DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) is actually an incredibly predictable horse. She likes leading, she likes short-trip events, and she likes minimal pressure through the early stages. Unless ULTOMATE VINNIE (2) gets pulling outside her, all of Mia’s demands will be met tonight, and if they are she looks to be a lock here in the last. Given they’ll probably rip home in a sub-56 half her obvious threat is SIMON (8) who follows DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) everywhere she goes; and if he doesn’t nail here he’ll still nail the podium (5 starts behind leader for 5 podium finishes) so roving him for second or third in exotics is another option. Beyond that pair the other key runners when playing those multiples are MUSZTANG (6), BELIEVE IN FOREVER (3) and ULTIMATE VINNIE (2) who possesses well above average talent but isn’t showing ti at present.

OVERVIEW: Typically speaking, these second tier metro maiden or 1MW events which close out Saturday night cards are almost impossible to assess. Thankfully, that’s not the case tonight. Despite her superficially mercurial figure form, DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) is actually an incredibly predictable horse. She likes leading, she likes short-trip events, and she likes minimal pressure through the early stages. Unless ULTOMATE VINNIE (2) gets pulling outside her, all of Mia’s demands will be met tonight, and if they are she looks to be a lock here in the last. Given they’ll probably rip home in a sub-56 half her obvious threat is SIMON (8) who follows DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) everywhere she goes; and if he doesn’t nail here he’ll still nail the podium (5 starts behind leader for 5 podium finishes) so roving him for second or third in exotics is another option. Beyond that pair the other key runners when playing those multiples are MUSZTANG (6), BELIEVE IN FOREVER (3) and ULTIMATE VINNIE (2) who possesses well above average talent but isn’t showing ti at present. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 2 + 4?,6? RATINGS: 1/ 8/ 3/ 6/ 2/ 5/ 4/ 7/ 9

OVERVIEW: Typically speaking, these second tier metro maiden or 1MW events which close out Saturday night cards are almost impossible to assess. Thankfully, that’s not the case tonight. Despite her superficially mercurial figure form, DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) is actually an incredibly predictable horse. She likes leading, she likes short-trip events, and she likes minimal pressure through the early stages. Unless ULTOMATE VINNIE (2) gets pulling outside her, all of Mia’s demands will be met tonight, and if they are she looks to be a lock here in the last. Given they’ll probably rip home in a sub-56 half her obvious threat is SIMON (8) who follows DELIGHTFUL MIA (1) everywhere she goes; and if he doesn’t nail here he’ll still nail the podium (5 starts behind leader for 5 podium finishes) so roving him for second or third in exotics is another option. Beyond that pair the other key runners when playing those multiples are MUSZTANG (6), BELIEVE IN FOREVER (3) and ULTIMATE VINNIE (2) who possesses well above average talent but isn’t showing ti at present. EARLY SPEED: 1 (Likely Leader) + 2 + 4?,6? RATINGS: 1/ 8/ 3/ 6/ 2/ 5/ 4/ 7/ 9
