GOING: S(6)

GREENDALE'S COMMUNITY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: 3m from 800m to 350m - cutaway.  

Cosmic Attraction should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. A good race. LA NINA (5) drew low and spiked his figures winning her Maiden here third up this trip. Races forward and still has scope for improvement. The speed-bred can take the next step for the Bjorn Baker yard. BAYCAT (3) has returned in good order following the switch from a Victorian stable. Collected her Maiden win first-up at Canberra then backed it up with a solid third over 1200m at Bathurst. Has the pace to be prominent from the outset and has more to give. DEE DEE EXPRESS (4) was a determined Maiden winner over 1100m at Goulburn. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. CIAO BELLA MIA (7) broke her Maiden last start over 1100m at Bathurst. This is tougher but she cannot be underestimated. COSMIC ATTRACTION (6) won his Maiden here on debut and can build on that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with La Nina.
