JOHN OXLEY MOTORS F&M CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True .  

Without should find the front with Shoutaboutit and Body Of Venus on her heels. SHOUTABOUTIT (5) is back after a four-month lay-off. Raced well last prep on the provincial circuit, the highlight an all-the-way maiden win over this distance at Hawkesbury. Expecting her to come back and take it up a level this campaign. BODY OF VENUS (8) returned from a 254-day spell and was having her first run under Nathan Doyle when a solid third in heavy going at the Beaumont track last time out. Comes back in trip which is the negative but with a bit more fitness on her side she should perform well again. HOO HAA (7) last appeared when midfield over 1400m at Newcastle seven weeks ago. This is short of her best but while fresh she can play a role with the aid of a perfect draw. MAGGIE SPARKLES (9) gets back but can run on into the frame without surprising. COCO DREAMING (1) is trialling well and looks ready to make a bright return despite the big weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shoutaboutit and Body Of Venus.
