6:00am - MAROUBRA HANDICAP | 1550m | | i

The Speed Map suggest REFLECTIVITY will be on-pace with MUSHAIREB kicking up the inside, perhaps GRESHAM (if he jumps OK) and SIR PLUSH to keys to tempo if they push on (tempo: FAIR to STEADY). The quirky MUSHAIREB is a hard horse to be confident in. He's only won early in his preps and comes into this fifth-up on the back-up after getting no luck here last week. If he isn't at his best NEW UNIVERSE poses a big threat second-up to 1550m after getting stuck wide fresh, a very reliable horse that fights hard. ROMAN SON comes from the same form-line and could do something, while SIR PLUSH is another with OK Saturday form. REFLECTIVITY (won midweek race) poor the last time he raced on a Saturday.
