GOING: G

GREAT OCEAN ROAD REAL ESTATE PACE 2150m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 34)    

WICKED MITZI (6) produced a strong effort at her latest appearance, overcoming a back row draw and scoring by 1.6 metres at Charlton. That was her second success from the last three outings. Up in grade but can take this step. SWISS LIGHTNING (2) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings before he scored a decisive win last time out at Horsham, getting home by 13.5 metres in a dominant display. Another rising in grade but he draws lower and loves this circuit and distance, recording three wins and a placing from four attempts. DIRECT COMMAND (10) continues a run of second row draws but is racing well from there with a win and a second in the last two outings at Kilmore. REIGN EM IN (3) is suited returning to the front line having come from a similar draw for a Maryborough win the last time he started from this row last month.
