Kangaroo Island   20 Feb 2025
 
GOING: G

G & J East Strathalbyn Maiden Handicap 1050m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Excelaot and Prohibited leading the way. MISS PANTHERLOT (2) returns. Showed positive signs in her debut prep and looks to have come on nicely during the break, stripping fitter for a Morphettville trial win in readiness. Bold showing anticipated. FRENCH DELICACY (5) was building nicely to her first win before a 62-day freshen. Has kept the legs ticking over with two trials, scoring at her most recent. Draws well and gets help at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged. Great chance to break through. ON THE LIST (4) hardly impressed on debut before heading straight back to the paddock but appears to have progressed nicely during a short break. Drawn softly and is among the chances. GO GO DOLLY (3) is a Sir Prancealot filly on debut for Kym Healy. Fitter for a solid recent trial. Can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Miss Pantherlot.
