GOING: G(3)

Tim Clark Plastering Mdn Hcp 1700m Track: GOOD 4 Mostly Clear Rail: True.
Giovane Amore can cross again like last start. Yet another big field to face the starter. A good tempo is expected with Giovane Amore and Wraith Of Odin keen to press on. GIOVANE AMORE is a progressive filly who continues to improve with each appearance. Went to the lead in a new role last start and battled on well to finish 3rd over 1600m at Sunshine Coast. Was a little wayward under pressure that day so the run is likely to do her the world of good. TIZABEE put the writing on the wall last start when she worked strongly to the line to finish runner up over 1690m at Ipswich after being caught deep for much of the journey. Drawn beautifully and with three runs under her belt this prep will be cherry-ripe today. WRAITH OF ODIN settled on the speed and found plenty in the final stages to be beaten just 2.3L in a Class 1 over this course and distance recently. Is going to take plenty of catching back to maiden company today. MYSTIC SKIES was poor last start but can improve from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giovane Amore is ready to win.
