GOING: G

3B Financial Services Mares Rating 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Limbering leading the way. LIMBERING (12) was back near her best last start when showing sharp tactical speed, only to be nabbed late. Drawn to advantage and will prove even tougher to reel in this time. PRINCESS ON PALM (1) broke through stylishly last time at Gawler. Freshened with 62 days and kept sharp with a jumpout, she’s drawn well for Tzaferis and is a strong chance to go on with the job. QUEENOFTHEAIR (10) hasn’t fired in two runs back but was luckless last time in town when running into dead ends. Strips fitter third-up and can improve sharply on the quick back-up. SO GRAND (5) lacks early speed but can cause a late scare if they overdo it in front. Worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Limbering to win.
