GOING: H(10)

Catanach's Jewellers Fillies & Mares BM70 Handicap 1400m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 4m 1300m - 300m, True Remainder. (Pent: 6.25)  

Good pace headed by Whistle Down, Beautifully and World Action, with Pariah Pearl and Tauri close by. Another competitive race but BEAUTIFULLY (6) just gets the nod. She's a progressive filly who has won two of her past three, coming away to win well at Cranbourne over this trip when last seen on soft ground. Should get every chance again here. Wary of IGOTCHA (7) at big odds. She ran a big race first up at Geelong in a high rating race. She hasn't won in a long time but does relish wet ground and her best form would take a fair bit of beating. GEFFINA (12) is racing consistently without winning, just edged out at $1.90 at Terang last time. She'll be charging late if the wider lanes are suited. PARIAH PEARL (1) hasn't fired in two runs back but likes wet ground and could be a sharp improver third up with Nash Rawiller down to ride. ROSE OF SHALAA (10) resumes, watch any market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Beautifully & Igotcha.
