GOING:

BOMITALI CONSTRUCTION TROT 2200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 15)    

PREFERRED LOVE (4) has the hoof on the till after placing in her last four outings, last time leading and fighting well to go under narrowly at Melton. Owns a good record at this distance and gets her chance to break through. IM LADY RHONDA (2) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last outing being a solid third at Melton. Has won fresh before and gets the benefit of a good draw so is likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. MAJESTIC TOOTH (3) was down the track in stronger company last start but was racing well with a string of wins and placings prior. Draws well and is better placed so is worth another chance. KYVALLEY ANTHONY (1) is worth plenty of thought after leading from this draw for a last-start win at Geelong.
