GOING: G(4)

Cardinia Plumbing Solutions Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good pace expected with Ferocious Frankie, Sideline and Pure Passion paving the way. PURE PASSION (4) will be very hard to beat if she lines up here. She resumes from a spell having tackled stronger races last time in, last seen in the G3 Red Roses behind Point Barrow. First up at 1200m is a tiny niggle but she's very well suited to this class. FEROCIOUS FRANKIE (8) resumes. Two runs last time in were in handy company and she didn't quite fire but she's always promised more than that and can do much better this time around. FIRST FIFTEEN (9) resumed with a smart maiden win at Sale, coming away to score by a soft 1.3 lengths. She maps ideally again and can repeat the dose. TOPMOST (3) is racing well, getting his maiden done two back, solid again last time. Back to 1200m looks fine, he has claims. HOOK 'N' SPUR (2) was far too good for moderate company fresh and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pure Passion to win.
