GOING: G

Vernon's Steel 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Expecting Minesite to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MISS LOTTIE (8) is immune to running poorly, having failed to miss a place at her past six starts. Two of those have been at her only two runs this time in, including a good effort in 0-58 grade last time out after a deserved maiden win at 'Black Caviar odds' first-up. This is a competitive affair but she's drawn well and gets in well after the claim. The form of MINESITE (1) looks super on paper, albeit in easier races than this, but she did finish immediately behind Miss Lottie last start, so if you like Miss Lottie you've got to entertain Minesite. ROWDY ANTHEM (6) should be ready to fire after two runs back from a spell. WHITSON (5) has drawn dreadfully but is in smart hands and is generally around the mark. GIRLS NIGHT (7) made an encouraging return at Geelong and was a winner of her only second-up outing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Lottie to win.
