GOING: S(6)

Prowse Plumbing Fillies & Mares BM62 Handicap 1300m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Princess Mess and Marine Empress will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. PRINCESS MESS (1) can bounce back. She won two in a row to start the campaign, stepping up in grade last time at Sale when battling well as a $2.90 chance. Back to her pet trip of 1300m and back a notch in grade, she looks very hard to run down again. MARINE EMPRESS (5) resumes with a nice profile. She's never finished outside of the quinella, albeit getting over a bit further to 2000m before the break. She draws well and can sprint strongly. PINOT FOR MIKE (6) has been good in two runs back and should be ready to peak. Tough draw but look for her down the outside. LANTANA (10) is racing consistently with three minor placings in a row, she maps ideally and should be right there again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princess Mess on top.
