GOING: G(3)

Senturion Steel,team Poly-Bm76 1200m

Track: GOOD   Thunderstorms Early   Rail: True.  

Never Pointless and Dancing Poetess can show early speed. PERFECT PAUSE is racing well and only missed by a half length here last time. Has won 16 times at the track, more than half of those at this distance, so knows her way around and looks tough to beat. The Defoe stable dominates with five runners. PERFECT PAUSE continues to race well for the yard and comes off a near miss 8 days ago when she was wide. Gets the better gate and the 1200m shouldn’t bother. LADY PHROMILY is a stablemate who has won her last two and the latest in this grade. Draws to 2 gate and keeps the claim and is sure to go close. SWIFT SHADOW from the same yard won a 70 2U and the 3kg claim is handy. Stablemate NEVER POINTLESS next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Perfect Pause in a competitive start to the day.
