Expecting a solid pace with Seminara, Mofferno and Giuliano leading the charge. MISS PANTHERLOT (7) has been steadily improving with each run this prep and was second at Clare nearly 2 weeks ago. She has a good draw and can go one better in this. SEMINARA (9) has been trying to win a race for a long time and should be suited by the pole position. She has been in the money 3 times over the trip, and is worth including in all combinations. MOFFERNO (8) is resuming from a spell, and her best effort came on debut at Penola. She was close up in a recent trial and with the blinkers on for the first time, she can take this out fresh up. TURFACTION (3) is a Victorian-trained gelding who did nothing fresh up at Geelong 3 weeks ago. He has a good draw and will finish a lot closer in this easier company. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mofferno each-way.
