GOING: G

Sportsbet Bet With Mates Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2m 1200m-W/Post; True Remainder. Sectional 602m. (Pent: 5.4).  

Strong early tempo with Sweet Baby Boom and Miss Sunshine leading the way. MISS SUNSHINE (11) got off the mark in great style at Ballarat to kick off the campaign. Couldn't quite follow it up last time as public elect but should be hitting her straps third-up. Lane piloting the extra push. FOXY FEMME (3) progressed nicely second up when driving hard to score by a head on the Parks track. Open to further improvement third-up and is drawn to get all the favours. Bold showing is anticipated. SWEET BABY BOOM (1) returns and makes her stable debut for the Clarken & O'Shea partnership. Showed good ability back in NSW and strips fitter for a soft Balaklava trial. Carries the top weight but is aided with the 2kg claimer engaged. Top hope on best form. OUR SHINING STAR (5) returns for the sharp R & C Jolly stable and has leading hoop in Toeroek reuniting, who scored on the mare here in her second last run of the prep last time in. Right in the mix. RUNAWAY BELLE (9) is ticking along nicely this time in and there's no reason she can't feature again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Miss Sunshine.
