TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.14).  

This will be a keen early contest, with Super Sprocket and Compelling Truth prominent. MARTINI MUMMA (13) Matt Dale-trained filly who looks to have an exciting future. Spaced her rivals again when cleared out for a smart 6 len win over 1000m at Goulburn in BM8 company on March 24. Deserves her chance here and looks up to the extra trip and grade. COMPELLING TRUTH (6) has three wins from nine starts and improvement expected from the good draw today. Up in trip when a tiring sixth over 1200m at Eagle Farm on March 23. Since fitted with a recent trial placing at Scone and go on run two back when assessing his prospects. TICKLEBELLY (9) Va Pensiero filly building a nice win record. Sat off the solid tempo early before rounding them up late with an effortless len win over 1000m at Albury on March 22. Gets the right run from the draw and the 1100m suits. SHINE YOUR LIGHT (15) frustrating filly who rattled late with the 58kg when fourth over 1000m at Dubbo on April 7. Has raced well in this company in the past and can surprise at big odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 13,6,9,15.
