Swan Hill   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

The Bottle O Swan Hill Maiden Plate 975m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 9)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Dougie's Dream is the likely leader at a keen tempo. DOUGIE'S DREAM (3) has had a few chances but looks well placed here third up. Her resumption at Bendigo was very good before an even effort last time out to 1100m. She's a speedy type who will be very well suited running along over the 975m here. ONYA SONYA (4) resumes for her second campaign. She ran well on debut last time in and should be improved this time around. On the up and should track the speed from the inside gate. STERNIN (9) is a 2yo filly by Churchill on debut for the Mitch Freedman yard. She's jumped out and trialled well enough to be a strong winning chance. PAULSIN (5) could be an improver third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dougie's Dream to win.
