GOING: G

All Too Hard@vinery Mdn Hcp 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.6).  

Aperitif prominent and should get some company from a couple of debutants who showed pace in their trials. Good speed expected here. Voila and Aperitif can both race handy or lead. VOILA was excellent on debut after having no luck in the run. Was tenacious in defeat after racing wide throughout and running the winner to less than a length. That looks the key form reference for this and she's drawn to get a lovely run. Will prove very hard to hold out. TELL ME showed enough on debut in February to suggest she will be competitive here. No advertised trials since that run is some query, but expect the stable to have her up to the mark for this. The main danger. PEDICEL is a beautifully bred filly and the recent trials at Randwick and Rosehill have both impressed. Positive rider booking and is a big market watch here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Voila.
