GOING: H(8)

BERESFIELD BOWLING CLUB MIDWAY 2&3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 900m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. YVONNE'S JOY (11) returns after an 18-week spell. Raced twice last prep without much joy but they were in far tougher races than this. Won a recent Hawkesbury trial and looks perfectly placed to make a successful return. WILDFIRE (10) is a Richard Litt-trained filly on debut. Trial winner at Warwick Farm on 26 June. Draws a nice gate and looks to have her share of talent. LADY SEGOSHA (3) started warm favourite but found one better when she attempted to lead all the way last time out over this distance at Scone. Handy filly who should be prominent for a long way. SPRIGHTLY AFFAIR (8) last appeared when beaten comfortably into third on debut over this course and distance on 28 February. Open to plenty of improvement this time in work. MRS FLANDERS (4) won a recent trial by seven lengths so she looks ready to fire first-up from a five-month lay-off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yvonne's Joy to win.
