GOING: G

PPHS 0 - 54 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m 800m to 600m, True Remainder.  

Off the low draw Hot Off should lead at a genuine tempo. LADY MEMPHIS (9) has been in good form, scoring three back at Port Lincoln then placing twice in a row. Drops slightly in grade and is drawn to get the gun run. She's the one to beat. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (6) has built nicely into this campaign and should be hitting her straps now, though she will likely be coming from a long way off them when turning. BLISSFUL BAY (5) was much better last time when closing strongly into second at Mt Gambier. Has more to offer third-up, though is another that will be doing his best work late from a wide draw. REVOLUTION BELLE (7) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at Penola. Drops back to a favourable trip and gets a key booking in Murtagh. Genuine threat. HOT OFF (2) was better last time at Kingscote and is an each-way hope if he can build off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Memphis to win.
