WOMEN LIKE US @ SAWTELL RSL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1305m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Goodonya Ausbred leading the way. MISS BUGATTI (9) came from next to last on the corner to get up for second last start over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Drops 2.5kgs under today's scale. Holding her form deep into the prep and looks a big chance to break through in a shallow field. The one with upside is GOODONYA AUSBRED (1) who boxed on well for second on debut last time out over 1218m at this track. Enjoys the perfect run out of gate one and the slightly longer trip is a positive. ANTONUCCI (4) returned from nearly a year on the sidelines with a respectable fourth over 1210m at Port Macquarie recently. Will take a lot from that run and with 2.5kgs less after the claim she looks nicely placed to play a key role. LA REGINA (8) returns from a four-month spell for a second campaign. Got better as the prep wore on when last in work. Expecting a bright resumption to racing. THE CAVALIER KID (6) can improve over a bit more ground at the second run back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Miss Bugatti and Goodonya Ausbred.
