GOING: S

Ladbrokes (Bm58) 2050m

Track: SOFT 5   Showers Early   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.22).  

Deep Sea Lady and Able Ken can run them around. VANILLA GOLD has placed all three runs this campaign with big backing and gets his chance today. DEEP SEA LADY is going well and is ready 3U. She can use the rail and Childs is a big striker with the stable. CLEMMENSEN resumed this trip and was okay after being wide. He can use the handy gate and the claim is handy. A quick improver. The Flipside will look to go forward from the outside, Clemmensen can also be on the speed while No Fairy, Sleepy Cat and Able Ken may also be up there. Not a strong race and VANILLA GOLD has the form on the board to break through. Placed in all four runs back and beaten favourite last three. Looks the one to stop here. SLEEPY CAT resumed with a nice effort at Wangaratta and while she may be one run from her peak she looms as a threat. NO FAIRY doesn't win out of turn but she has shown up in better races than this and with luck from the gate can be in the finish again. Deep Sea Lady and Clemmensen are the other main chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Vanilla Gold to break through.

First-up after four months jumped awkwardly and ran wide early stages; came from midfield; 6th of 11 runners at Swan Hill (Bm64) Jun 9 over 2100m, on slow going 3-3/4 len behind House Of Stars with 59kg. Previously second-up ran wide early, middle stages; ran last at Grafton (Bm55) in Sep last year over 1606m, slow track; 9-3/4 len behind Arabian Falcon carrying 60.5kg. Nice fresh effort and has to be considered.
