GOING: S(5)

VICTA CORVETTE Fillies and Mares Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +9m Entire Course.  

Strong tempo with Kahlua Girl, Grey Impact and Miss Mercy going forward ahead of Home Zone and Pee Bee Noir. HOME ZONE (7) found more like her Victorian best beaten narrowly here as favourite and then didn't have much luck at the Gold Coast, well beaten. She can be back on the pace today and bounce with Collis reunited, replacing the 3kg apprentice. DATA SCRAMBLE (2) resumed and led for most of the way before being claimed late here over 1200m. Uses the inside barrier and has more to offer. Expected to measure right up again. RETAINER (1) ran a nice race fresh in the same contest beaten only 1.7 lengths. Settle back from the outside gate and made strong ground. Has more up the sleeve and the 2kg claim benefits. KAHLUA GIRL (3) comes out of the same race and ran below expectations. The speedy galloper had been busting to win and cannot be ruled out. MISS MERCY (8) is third-up and capable of more. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Home Zone.
