GOING: S(5)

ZARRAFFA'S COFFEE PINK RIBBON CUP Fillies & Mares BENCHMARK 85 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.76).  

Moderate pace with Catwalk Criminal taking up the running ahead of En Pointe and Burning Bell. CATWALK CRIMINAL (10) is a consistent campaigner who has three wins and three placings from just seven outings and looks ready to step-up to the 1200m now. Drawn perfectly in gate one and gets in light at the weights. Expected to play a major role in the outcome. POWERFUL PEG (3) resumes here but has a handy fresh record with a win and two seconds from four attempts. Will find this easier than what she contested last campaign and her best form puts her right in this. BURNING BELL (4) is yet to miss a drum in three first-up efforts and has a very good overall winning strikerate. Respect. SWEET MARGOT MAY (1) wasn't too far off them in Listed company at the latest run and should appreciate the drop back in grade here. In the mix. JAYANTHI (7) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Catwalk Criminal to give a sight.
