GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95).  

Strong tempo from the outset with Sicilian and Perfect Proposal leading the charge. Hardest race of the day despite a multitude of scratchings. ADMONISH (9) began awkwardly and failed to recover last time out over 1150m at the Kensington track. McDonald sticks which is a positive sign. Nicely drawn and if she does things right is good enough to test this field. SICILIAN (5) resumes. Beaten 1.7 lengths in the Group 3 Quezette over this distance at Caulfield last prep which is strong form for this. Three recent trials should have her ready to run. QUEEN OF THE MILE (3) is back from a five-month spell. Bolted in at Wyong first-up last prep and a couple of recent trial wins suggest she is on target for another bright return. Progressive filly IMPULSIVITY (13) made it two wins from three runs this prep with a tough victory over 1200m at Newcastle six weeks ago. Freshened up and in the mix again. RHETTARA (16) is back from a 28-week lay-off. Won easily when returning from a long spell last prep so keep her in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Admonish each-way in a tough one to close.
