Winner AUD $14,850 - 9 runners
7f
Going: Standard
Surface: AW
THE BOSS MAN (2) backs up four days after racing on the speed and finishing third over 7f at Pakenham Synthetic. Strong run last time and is capable of taking this out. EN FLIQUE (4) drifted back last time but wound up nicely to finish just a neck away in second over 6½f at Wangaratta. Plenty to like about that last run and is worth following up. CHAMPAGNE WISHES (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 6½f at Wangaratta after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. MADAM MOSSMAN (6) is a National Defense filly who cost AUD $ 6,000 (Inglis 2023 Premier Yearling Sale) as a yearling and makes debut. Fitter for a recent trial. Shapes well this line up, worth including among the chances.
