GOING: G

PFD Foods Fillies & Mares Marquee 18th April Handicap (Div 1) 1000m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Chief White Sock and Peace Baby taking up the running over Boss Shelby. Very even. BOSS SHELBY (4) has been kept fresh since a fast finishing third here last time in a stronger race. Well placed with the claim and inside and expected to go close. PEACE BABY (3) was safely held in the same race. Winner the start prior and well worth another chance. ANPHINA (5) is a former Victorian mare who hasn't won for a long time. Might find this a shade sharp but best figures measure right up this level so keep very safe. REVOLUTION RISING (2) last appeared on November 22 when a good fourth over 1100m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. CHIEF WHITE SOCK (1) goes well fresh and should be ready to fire. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Boss Shelby.
