3RD NATURAL FLING $3



NIC ASHMAN'S MOIR STAKES ANALYSIS

TIME: 57.2

G1 STANDARD: -0.67

TEMPO: -0.29


"Good edition. Almost bang on two-thirds of a second inside standard and strong late with their last 400m in 22.2 - well above average. Worth noting the standard for this race uses broader data than normal given there's typically no G1s run this T&D. MY GLADIOLA looked over the odds in our Thursday preview and ran right up to the rating she posted when 2nd in the Lightning Stakes fresh over 1000m in the autumn - is 1000m fresh her go? NATURAL FLING loses no admirers. Maybe EXTRAGALACTIC you could follow into a Manikato? ”
