GOING: G(4)

Classic Hits Magic1278 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Sassy Boom to take up the running. Tricky little mare's race. POIFECT (3) resumes. She got over 2000m before a spell in the G2 The Roses at Doomben and failed but her win prior in Adelaide was very good, thumping Sassy Boom over 1600m. No issue at 1400m fresh, she looks a strong chance. QUICKSTER (6) ran well in some good 3yo fillies races last time in, winning at Listed level. She'll be running on strongly late. SASSY BOOM (1) tried hard fresh and has the benefit of a run against the likes of Poifect. She'll take catching. LOVAZOU (2) continues to race well and is in the mix. MATRIARCH ROSE (5) was okay fresh and has minor claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Poifect & Quickster.
