GOING: S(5)

LAFM Alfa Bowl 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +2 Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Lawrenny Boys is the probable leader in the small field. TAROONA (6) missed a whisker here fourth-up and keeps improving. He wasn't beaten far in Stakes grade on debut, and she sets a decent standard here. CELESTIAL GLOW (5) will use the inside barrier and went close here last time. Peaks, and she is the quinella. BRIGHT NIGHT (3) will be fitter, but needs to find more to be winning. CAN'T CATCH CHILLI (4) will be fitter but also needs to find plenty. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Taroona.

Last start couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at this track 2yo Mdn on March 14 over 1120m, slow going 10 len behind Prince Marionette with 57kg at $61. Improvement to come cannot be underestimated.
