---|---|---|---|---|
First Blessing will go fast but there are few first starters lining up who could keep her busy. FIRST BLESSING (7) resumes. She placed at her only run to date over 1110m at Sale, beaten three lengths by a handy type and showing good promise. She's had a decent spell here but resumes in a winnable race and trusting the stable to have her ready to go. MILO (3) is a Stokes three-year-old gelding by Deep Field lining up for his debut. He's won a trial nicely in preparation and must be greatly respected on his home deck. Keep safe. MISS LIL (11) could improve having not been beaten far at Cranbourne last start. This trip should suit. BIGCAT (13) has been around the mark of late and looks a solid each way hope. AQUILION GIRL (6) was better at big odds last time and is a top four hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: First Blessing to win.
