GOING: S(5)

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Belriah to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. ANIA (1) finds another winnable affair here having gotten the job done with some conviction in a 0-56 over this route last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths. This doesn't look a whole lot harder and she's well placed once more. BLONDIE'S TORONADO (5) was below her best on resumption at Sale in a BM62, beaten six lengths when in the market. This is easier and she draws to effect, look for improvement. REGAL ASCEND (2) struggled over further at Geelong when last seen and has been let up since. Onto her home deck here and Mott booked, expect she's strong late. QUEEN BEIRA (3) is off a short spell here, now with the Goodwin yard. She could be an improver for the new camp. HOT STEPPING HIPPY (4) won narrowly last time and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ania to win again.
