Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m 1000m-300m Cutaway Applies.  

Billabong will stride forward but there are few first starters who can keep her busy. TIGLETTA (12) frustrating filly who finds a winnable contest today. Drifted back early from the wide gate with a close-up fifth over 1100m at Gosford in a Super Maiden. Finds a nice race and gets the chance to break through. BILLABONG (5) massive flop first-up as fav when she dropped out quickly in the soft (6) condition to finish fourth over 1000m at Wyong. Strips fitter and she finds a suitable race. Can bounce back quickly. KORITSI (2) three runs this time in have been okay on the Provincial circuit. Gets every chance today from the low draw and no surprise to see her in the finish. PENINHAND (10) two runs back have only been fair and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tigletta can get the better of these.
