Lovey's Grocers IGA Super Mdn Plate
Mednyi placed third at this track and distance last start and gets the benefit of a 2kg claim. The Freedman-trained colt has a good barrier and should be able to position well in running. Rates as a solid chance.
Thrilling Venture showed improvement last start at this track and distance, finishing fourth. The addition of blinkers should sharpen her up and she can take another step forward here.
First starter from the Neasham/Archibald stable with promising breeding. The gear changes suggest readiness and the inside barrier is advantageous over this short trip.
