Lady Mistico⁸⁴

Weight: 9-4| Age: 4

T: Alan Greeff J: R Fourie

Forecasts

Lady Mistico (5/2), Carbonado (3/1), Definitely Maybe (10/3), Double Check (4/1), Aerial View (5/1), Flame Flower (11/2), Tried And True (7/1), Twice To Heaven (11/1)

DEFINITELY MAYBE was beaten when prominent in the market last time, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Aerial View is most likely the main threat, while Carbonado also demands scrutiny.
