GOING: G

Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.89).  

Pace a scorcher, headed by Miss Sunshine, Factually and Governor, closely followed by Romantic Choice. MISS SUNSHINE (5) was a smart maiden winner over 1000m at this track last time out when resuming, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Lightly raced and in the right stable to keep improving. Looks the clear horse to beat again. TEQUILA STORM (4) was good last time at Warrnambool when beaten a nose over this trip. Won't need to improve much to be taking this out. GOVERNOR (1) has had two runs back from a spell and looks ready to show his best third up. He's got the pace to cross and take catching. ROMANTIC CHOICE (6) resumes and looks well placed here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Sunshine to win.
