GOING: G(4)

SOMERSET REGIONAL COUNCIL Maiden Handicap 800m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Cracking tempo with Saga's Girl and Bella Russian leading the way. SAGA'S GIRL (11) wasn't disgraced in town on debut before just running into one better at Gatton at the latest effort. Was then tipped out for further time to furnish and has since joined the new barn. Makes plenty of appeal for a race like this. HANEY (1) was in the betting on debut and where there's smoke there's fire. Has been given a bunch of trials in preparation for this and can return in good order. Looks a real race in two however a few come into each way calculations after some key scratchings. BELLA RUSSIAN (9) will push forward and give them all something to chase. MISHANI HERCULES (8) the best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Saga's Girl.
