GOING: G(4)

Positive Survey Solutions-Bm70 1150m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Speed anticipated from Miss Elly May, Touch Sensitive, Pacific Reign, Music Magic and Oakfield Sunrise. Another race with plenty of tempo to latch onto with Miss Elly May, Pacific Reign and Pennington to name a just a few. MISS ELLY MAY is doing everything asked of her in three starts to date. Put them away strongly in latest effort and despite a tougher grade and a wide draw she remains front and centre. ANNATIME has recorded runner up results at her last two starts in similar grade to this. Hard fit now and has a very reliable overall record in her favour. Genuine claims at her pet trip. KOPITE has been a model of consistency of late and rounds out a mares' trifecta. Drawn her best gate in some time and latest run had plenty of merit. Genuine effort expected. Buon Natale skips a grade or two but is a genuine wet tracker who could get conditions to suit. Goes well fresh. KOPITE has been a model of consistency this campaign but just struggles to win often. Should endure a soft run from the draw and the Mitchell Bell back aboard is a positive. ANNATIME next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Elly May straight out.
