GOING: G

Fusion Exhibitions Rosebowl 1300m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of speed engaged with Juice Box, Rebellious Hope and Ariarne going forward ahead of Tubthumper and Hell Fire Miss. JUICE BOX (3) made a winning local debut when sitting outside the pace and scoring comfortably by over a length. She has 2kg less to carry here, and in a similar field, she can repeat the dose. ROSSANADO (12) franked her good local debut for second by a short-head, with an easy 3-length win here 18 days ago. She has a superior gate, drops in weight, and can give this a shake as well. REBELLIOUS HOPE (10) finished runner-up behind the second pick at a big price here last start. She is heading the right way with her form and will be peaking at the right time. Stick with her, but don't expect another fancy price. HELL FIRE MISS (6) did well to finish third when resuming over 1100m at this track last start. Fitter and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Juice Box each-way value again.
