GOING: S

Frankie. Bar & Eatery Fillies & Mares BM62 Handicap 1147m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 9m 1700m - 800m, Out 11m Remainder.  

Expecting Visual to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. VISUAL (2) switched from James Cummings and resumed on the Hillside placing second behind Stokke as a $2.7F. She'd been off the scene for 405 days so there was a stack of merit in the effort. She will use the inside gate and the in-form Brown goes on. Ran a big relative number at Hawkesbury on debut and she's still well shy of that. The one to beat. EETEEDEE (7) wasn't beaten far at Group level before the spell and resumed at long odds in Stakes grade. She will be better for that and is capable of using the inside barrier. This is more suitable and expect sharp improvement. NORMANDY LASS (5) peaks and is racing well. Gives herself every chance and can make the finish again. JENNI LA ROCK (4) won her Maiden on debut and has more to offer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to risk Visual.
