GOING: S(5)

CENTRAL WEST ELECTRICAL GOLD NUGGET 2YO HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Anticipating a stack of early pressure with many of these youngsters facing the starter for the first time. HELL'S VIXEN (4) battled away well enough on debut at Randwick-Kensington before being put aside for a spell. She has had a couple of trials under her belt and will be ready to fire fresh up at an easier level here. SAINT PHILOMENA (9) just battled In a much stronger field at Wellington last time out. Her run for second before that is the guide to use and she is worth another chance in this. Each-way value. BROOKLYN DAISY (3) has been progressing fairly at the trials and her trainers don't often venture out to the country without bringing him some of the major prize money. The markets will be your best guide to her chances. PERFUMIST (5) won the latest of her 2 trials and only a wide draw prevents her from being the top pick. The Bjorn Baker stable is running hot and she is likely to have plenty of admirers on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell's Vixen each-way.
