SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: G

Le Pine Funerals (Bm64) 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Early   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Fiera Vista, Golden Physician and Maid Equal all contest the lead. Expect a strong tempo. Golden Physician probably leads, Mirette, Fiera Vista, Cavalini and Maid Equal should all be forward to a degree. PEDICEL will appreciate a class drop on her two starts since a maiden win at Canterbury in May. Far from disgraced last time in Listed company and gets a good chance to score here. MIRETTE also showed some ability last time in against handy company including a Flemington placing in May. Has trialled and keep very safe. FIERA VISTA was a short priced favourite and was never threatened when scoring first-up on the synthetic. Bit tougher here but worth thought. Chevalier D'Eon is racing well looks the other main contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pedicel.
