Race comment
OVERVIEW: MAURLEN GRACE (1) was well supported on debut in a race where they ran good time and she was forced to do a lot of work from the back row. The form out of that race has proved solid since, and with a better draw and freshen up she’s a strong winning chance. CAPTAINS RUSH (8) draws to get a soft run and was quite good last time out when 2nd at this track. LA SMOOCH (9) is first up from a break and did show strong improvement to the end of his last prep. OUR SWEET JEANNIE (3) was a trial winner here recently and looked to have ability and is worth keeping safe. BACK: MAURLEN GRACE (1) – 2 units (win)
