Mudgee Race 2

Lion (Bm66)

Prize Money: $27,000

VONDEL (5) is a lightly raced mare having her first crack at 2000m. Came wide then made steady ground without threatening last start over 1880m at Newcastle. Stays on 57kgs in what looks an easier race. Sure to be there at the business end. MY GREEK GOD (3) has been freshened up since a moderate fifth over 2400m at the Kensington track a month ago. Dour customer who has filled a placing at three of four runs over today's distance. In the right race to bounce back to form. GREEN PINEAPPLE (7) started favourite and gave nothing else a chance last start on a heavy track over this trip at Bathurst. Goes up in grade but drops 1.5kgs. Big chance with a repeat of that latest performance. WOLF CLUB (4) can improve at the fourth run back from a spell out to a more suitable journey.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Last start eased back early on 5th of 8 in a Bm72 (71) at Randwick Kensington on July 29 over 2400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Elle Hudson with 52kg at $6. The race before that 4th of 8 in a Bm64 at Kembla Grange on July 25 over 2400m, 2 len behind Sablonneuse carrying 54kg at $7. Terrific chance to return to form.
