GOING: S

Carlton Draught Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 3m 1200m Chute. Out 2.5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.18).  

A strong tempo assured with Hateech and River leading the charge. PRICILLA'S CHOICE (2) looked to be nearing another win but disappointed as favourite eight days ago on a wet Bordertown deck. The form around her reads strongly and is already a track and trip winner. Draws well and should have every chance. MORE SUGAR (9) has spent a while out of the winner's circle but has shown some positive signs this prep. Drops back to a winning trip on the short turnaround and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Watch for her climbing over their backs late. FALANGHINA (7) improved nicely last start at Geelong when beaten narrowly in what has proved a good form race. Drawn sticky but comes in fresh and gets a key jockey booking in Crowther. Can make her presence felt. STRATUM PRIDE (10) is yet to strike this campaign but has hit the line nicely in her last two. Drawn well on the short turnaround and can give this a shake. SCRIPTA (3) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pricilla's Choice to win.
