GOING: S

Celebrate Mother's Day with us 10 May BM64 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

Lady Adelaide has good early speed and is expected to set a decent tempo. LIGHTNING FLASH (7) won with authority at Pakenham when leading throughout and backed it up with a sound effort in town last time out. Looks well placed here and is expected to give this a shake. SHOELESS (8) is lightly raced and is putting together a handy record. Should be handy in the run and is expected to run well here. THE NEGOTIATOR (3) was a winner here in December and first-up run off a short break at Caulfield was not too bad, although easily held. Better off here and is worthy of thought. FUZZ BUZZ (5) won here two starts back before disappointing last time, again at this track. Can bounce back in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Lightning Flash to win and take in a quinella with numbers 3,5 & 8.

Useful type. At the latest run eased back early on 10th of 13 at Caulfield Bm70 on April 6 over 1400m, slow going 4.5 len behind Jucconi with 58.5kg at $26. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at Pakenham Cg&E Bm64 February 15 over 1400m defeating North Channel carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Looks far better off this time.

Useful mare. Most recently settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at this track F&M Bm64 on April 5 over 1300m, slow going 2.75 len behind Stellar Mofeed with 61.5kg at $11. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track F&M Bm64 March 22 over 1300m defeating Field Of Praise carrying 59.5kg at $9. Mixing his form but worthy of thought.

Useful mare. Last start led to the turn then faded 5th of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside F&M Bm70 on April 1 over 1400m, 3 len behind Moya Lass with 58.5kg at $6. The run before that scored a big 3.5 len win at Pakenham F&M Bm64 March 15 over 1400m defeating Miss Santorini carrying 59.5kg at $7. Racing well and should prove hard to hold out.

Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
