GOING: H(9)

RACE FOR ELLIE RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: +8 metres 900-W/Post; +5 metres Remainder.. (Pent: 5.89)  

A keen pace battle assured Cat Call prominent, joined by Booya Boy and Past Midnight. STEFFI ELECTRICA (8) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1120m at Lismore. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Has ability and should be right in the finish. LENNYSTAR (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in seventh over 1260m at Ballina after being in the firing line on the bend. On her best form she is right in contention. DEEP STEALTH (7) has not appeared since she finished fourth over 1200m at Murwillumbah on December 12. One to consider. PAST MIDNIGHT (3) looked handy winning on debut and should be kept very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Steffi Electrica to salute.
