Monmore Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $853

BLUEY HILLS (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (16.10) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Monmore. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. STOUKE SALAH (3) looks well placed here following an A5 win two back before finishing in the minors at his latest appearance in an A5 at Monmore over 480m (28.98). Suited here. Hard to beat if anywhere near his best. MUSTANG GENERAL (6) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Comes here a last start placegetter at Monmore in an A6 (29.57). Expected to be in the finish again. DROOPYS NOVELLA (2) is a definite chance as a last start winner out of this box.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 4 lengths at Monmore (28.71) beating Aero Bertie in an A4 on January 14. Can keep things rolling.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last three starts, the latest when third (29.57) over 480m at Monmore. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.
