GOING: S

J Catanach DFC Memorial Fillies and Mares BM70 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m 800m - WP, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.73).  

A solid tempo on the cards with Drink Then Kiss expected to be leading the way. MISS GALORE (3) has had the two runs from a spell and posted a strong effort when filling a place at Pakenham last time. Will be further improved and is expected to go close here. MAWKEB (5) was a little plain at Mornington last time after posting solid performances at Caulfield and Sandown. Looks better off here and can bounce back. UNTHINKABLE (7) has been freshened since last start second at Moonee Valley. Wasn't knocked around in a recent Bendigo trial and is worth keeping in mind here. BELLINI MISS (8) was a Bendigo winner three starts back and subsequent efforts have been fair. Gets on home track here and cannot be discarded. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Miss Galore and Mawkeb to win.
