Stawell Race 2 - Russ Studio Jewellers Mdn Plate
MENZIES CREEK (6) made progress last start to finish second over 1243m at Geelong after being prominent at the corner. Drawn well for John Allen who should track the speed and present late, go close. DISCOVER LUPINO (2) was 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1300m at Seymour last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Should park just off the speed and take some beating. INNER THOUGHTS (9) was beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Wangaratta at her latest appearance, mixing her form a bit this time in. Can roll forward and give a sight. DONE MY JOB (3) resumes having struggled on heavy ground on debut before the break, look for improvement.
