GOING: G(4)

Discover Northern Grampians Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.97)  

Expecting Star Of Ravenna to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SHARE THE PENNIES (7) was beaten for early speed but hit the line nicely when a close third over 1600m at Ballarat last time out. Put the writing on the wall there and will go close now. STAR OF RAVENNA (8) has been placed in both starts this time in, sticking on well for third at Terang last time. She'll take plenty of catching up on speed. DURHAM (5) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Mt Gambier over 1400m, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will strip fitter with winning claims. SONIC BELLE (11) has finished fifth in both starts to date but could be an improver in this slightly easier contest. HELLISH LEE (9) has had a few chances but has been thereabouts of late and isn't without claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Share The Pennies to win.
