GOING: G

BIRDSVILLE HOTEL Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Go Go Dolly is expected to lead at a strong tempo. MY SYMBOL (1) comes north off some good synthetic racing in Victoria. As long as he handles this area of racing that really should be good enough even with the big weight. The claim does help a bit. BAILE FERVOR (2) had been beaten some very large distances but then came back to the 1000m and was much better. Now heads back up but gained some confidence from that. EXTREMELY FRILLY (5) got some reward for effort in her maiden win. Does run on. MADAME MOTH (7) will be doing the same now fitter. SUGGESTED PLAY: My Symbol to win.
