GOING: H(10)

TRAFFIC WARDEN @ DARLEY HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 6.21)  

Genuine tempo from Hellaine leading Vanessi. KILLER KERR (11) returned to the winner's list in emphatic style last start, coming from near the tail to blow away a BM58 field over 1300m at Goulburn. Twice a winner at today's trip from six attempts. Gets some nice weight relief today so although up in grade she can score again. Genuine filly HONEY PERFUME (8) made it seven top-three finishes from eight starts when she closed well to get up for third over 1100m at Gosford last time out. Nicely placed out to this trip. Sure to be thereabouts again. VANESSI (2) made a pleasing return over 1000m at the Kensington track recently. Will make her own luck up on the speed and should be tough to hold out over an extra furlong. NOT THAT EASY (6) disappointed at the Kensington track last Wednesday. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and getting to 1200m is a positive. Can bounce back on the quick turnaround. VERMICELLA (3) resumes. The winner of two from two when fresh so despite the big weight she is a player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Following up Killer Kerr.
