Verdict
Sweet Mischief, Propaganda and Moral Code look the trio to concentrate upon and we like Sweet Mischief. The selection ran a fair third to Praxiteles in a recent maiden and granted normal progression, this race is there for the taking. Propaganda headed to the racetrack with quite a lofty reputation but has yet to justify it. The filly makes her all-weather debut this afternoon. Moral Code was well supported on a previous visit to Dunstall Park. She isn't without her own ideas about the game so any betting strategy needs to bear this in mind. Spares and Repairs is a convert from bumpers but doesn't appear to be another Turbo Linn in waiting. Restless Soul has been tried in much better grade than this and has to be watched closely in the market. A fair maiden by the track's standards and we are with Sweet Mischief.
