GOING: G(3)

ABROLHOS ISLANDS HANDICAP 1220m

Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Prinsessa Anja and Deep Discretion have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. DEEP DISCRETION (3) scored a 0.9L victory over 1113m here last start and rises in trip today. She's placed 4/5 at this distance previously and looks to get every chance under Turner from a good draw. Can bring up back-to-back victories. AWESOME LILY (4) has plenty of upside being a 3YO with just three starts under her belt and she showed what she's capable of two back. She was solid last start up to 1400m, but back to this trip looks ideal. Can land midfield and roll over the top to bounce back to winning ways. NEW ATTRACTION (2) is racing in good order, winning easily two back before a 1.5L defeat most recently over 1417m most recently. Back in trip now off a freshen and Yuill remains in the saddle. Ticking along well and has to be included. LIBERTY DAME (8) has been around the mark recently and can play a role once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deep Discretion can bring up back-to-back wins.
