GOING: S

Peninsula Kubota Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Good Onya Darl, Hanuman and Olivia Rose all possess good speed. HANUMAN (3) missed a whisker at Geelong on debut and resumed off a long break with a 1L defeat on the synthetic. He was backed off the map and presents fitter with Brown sticking aboard. Maps well and is progressive. The one to beat. BAZABALL REWARDED (5) resumes and has p[placed 4/7. He's raced well in town and has been unlucky not to have broken through. Owns a recent jumpout win at the track. A player. OLIVIA ROSE (10) resumes with Nolen engaged, and the stable is firing. Won her lone jumpout and will be naturally improved. EVIL LOVER (6) will push forward and will be around the mark with average luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Hanuman.
