GOING: G(4)

Jeanette Wilson Memorial (C3) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Showers Early   Rail: Out 6m 1400m-400m; Out 3m the Remainder. (Pent: 4.5).  

Biagiotti will roll forward again today to take up the lead. Biagiotti looks a clear lead. QUEENOFTHEPIXIES is a progressive mare who won twice before being beaten a neck at the S Coast this grade as favourite. Gets Griffin and a handy gate and clearly looks the one to beat. RED CHANDELIER was wide winning FU and then just a run in a much stronger race at Doomben. Draws inside and can make the quinella in this company. BIAGIOTTI has a stack of speed and go on the strong rating effort two back this venue. Gets the claim and is sure to take catching. STRATALENA didn’t have the best of it the latest and is a trifecta hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queenofthepixies straight out off strong recent form.
