GOING: G

Blue Gum Farm VOBIS Gold Distaff 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine pace on the cards with Oh Too Good taking up the running ahead of Beour Bay and Naiconi. Group 3 winner PAPILLON CLUB (2) returned with an excellent first-up run at Moonee Valley then wasn't far away in even contest at Bendigo last time. Should be at her peak for this and will be tough to beat. Group 3 winner MEGAMEA (1) got a long way out of her ground before closing off well at Flemington. Looks nicely placed here and should be tough to beat. EXTRATWO (4) scored successive wins at Moonee Valley before being beaten by stablemate Chorlton Lane at Bendigo last time. That form should stack up here. Expected to run well. BEOUR BAY (3) registered a solid win at Terang second-up and should take further improvement from the run. Won't be too far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Papillon Club and Megamea to win.
