GOING: G

Move to Strike at Lovatsville Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. SUNLIT SERENADE (14) resumed in a stronger maiden at Sandown Hillside and ran a strong race, coming from well back to motor into fourth, beaten two lengths. Now gets to 1600m for the first time which should suit down to the ground. Lane goes on and while the draw likely sees her get back, she should be too good. MOVE THE TORANA (9) ran a better race last start at Kilmore having struggled on heavy going prior. Expect she gets a nice run here midfield and can prove very competitive once more. ZEACTION (6) stuck on gamely fresh at Benalla over 1406m to get within a long neck. She showed promise last time in over more ground so this trip second up looks perfect. MEET THE WIFE (8) has been solid to the line in two runs back from a spell and now should be ready to peak getting to a mile. BON EROS (11) wasn't bad on debut in the same maiden as Sunlit Serenade and is open to improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Sunlit Serenade.
