GOING: N

Porter Plant F&M BM64 Handicap 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Take The Prize leading the way. ROSA JULIET (6) is a lightly raced filly who resumed with a maiden win as the $1.70 favourite at this track over 1200m. Appears to have come back well and while straight to a BM64 now, she can measure up with further improvement. IMAPAGETHREE GIRL (1) is a handy mare who won well last start at Swan Hill, making it 3 wins from 7 starts. Showed good speed there and can land in a handy position from the inside draw. Hard to beat again. FAVANNA (8) finished at the tail in a stronger race at Sandown Lakeside last start but had been racing well prior. The 4th at Flemington three runs back reads very well for this. TAKE THE PRIZE (4) is racing consistently and won at this track and trip last time out. Chance for the double. LE DERRIERE (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rosa Juliet on top.
