GOING: G

Yarrawonga Hotel Fillies & Mares BM58 Handicap 1206m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38).  

Expecting Miss Beautiful to set a strong early tempo on the fence along with Chelsea Amanda. REFRESHING (11) put the writing on the wall last start at the third run of the campaign, chiming in late to miss by a neck over this distance at Pakenham. Very fit now, won't find this quite as tough, and draws the ideal gate so her credentials are hard to fault. STRANGELESS (6) picked up late when the race was all over to grab fourth when resuming over 1000m at Cranbourne. Far better placed over today's journey so expect to see her putting in the big strides late. IN YOUR HANDS (1) is back after a four-month spell. Opened last prep with a narrow win in a BM64 over this distance at Pakenham. Class runner who isn't badly in after the claim. Major contender. JUDGE KELLIE (9) went back to the tail from the wide gate then found the line well recently over this trip at Mildura. Capable of a top-three finish from a better draw this afternoon. AND SHE WAS (7) hasn't won for ages but is rarely far away. Good each-way option. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Refreshing.
