GOING: S

Bowermans Furniture (Bm70) 1400m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: Out 5m Entire Course. (Pent: 5.04).  

Wide Spread Panic looks the leader. Chris Waller boasts a strong hand and barring a strong market push the other way, BUBBLES'N'TROUBLES gets the nod. Resumes after a short spring prep which culminated with a stakes placing over 1400m on the course proper here. Should be forward enough to fire off a pair of trials. ROMANI GIRL has a fitness edge on her side having run second over 1250m at Canterbury on resuming. Was slow away and found the line well. Will be much better suited up over this trip. LABURNUM has improved with each run this prep. Won at Kembla Grange last start and deserves her chance back up at city level. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Bubbles'n'troubles.
