GOING: H(9)

ARROWFIELD SHOWCASE MISS FINLAND 2YO FILLIES HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1000m to 300m. True Remainder.  

Plenty of unraced runners engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a solid tempo. VITTOZZI (10) Trapeze Artist filly from the Nathan Doyle stable lining up for her first race start. Has shown potential in two trials and expected to go close. ZUMBO (1) resuming after creating a big impression on debut as favourite, when racing on the pace to salute over 1000m at Grafton. Can keep the winning momentum going despite drawing out. BACKHANDER (5) first starter by Graff out of Clever Dolly from the Archibald stable. Got through the heavy conditions when second in an 845m Wyong trial. Must be kept safe. ST FAITH'S (9) is a filly by Churchill from Fama on debut for the Archibald stable. Was runner-up in a trial at Warwick Farm over 819m. Will get through the going and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vittozzi and Zumbo to fight it out.
