GOING: S(7)

The Big Screen Company Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Written Glow to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Tricky race. CUSTOM (1) resumes. She's been highly competitive against some good fillies and does pay the penalty at the weights for doing so, but second to Alpha Sophie last time in reads very well and she has a host of other ratings that say she can win, weight and all. MISS LOLA (9) broke through for a dominant maiden win at Sandown Lakeside second up and did so in good time. She can go on with it down in the weights. WRITTEN GLOW (7) is an interesting runner. She was sent out a $2.10 favourite on debut in New Zealand and won well, now with the Hayes yard. Beat very little there but represents strong connections and has trialled well, respecting. RACE FOR RULE (5) dropped back to this trip at Sandown Hillside and just missed late, she'll be hard to hold out. BIOLOGICS (3) struggled badly on the heavy going last time but can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Custom each-way.

Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Flemington in the LR Desirable Stks February 14 over 1400m, 4 len behind Sass Appeal with 55kg at $5.50. First up last campaign fourth of 9 at this track in the G3 Manfred January 24 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Space Rider with 55kg at $4.40. Has the class form and should take beating.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when favourite; won by 1.3 len at Taupo Mdn-Sw December 28 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Biding My Time with 55kg at $2.10. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Very wary given her profile, watch the betting.
