FOLLOW GOLD CIRCLE ON FACEBOOK FM 96 HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 23) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Stormy Choice, Sunshine Day and Lady Heist heading the charge. PRITTI VICTORY (9) fought hard in her last start over 1000m at Scottsville but found one too good on the day. She returns from an 11-week break which would have done her the world of good. She won her only attempt here over this trip and if fit, she should be the one to beat. CAPTAIN'S CHRISTY (5) needed her fresh-up run over 1000m. She likes this course and will strip a much fitter horse today. She is one of the leading contenders. RUSSIAN DOLL (4) has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She has won twice from three starts over this distance and will be mowing down the frontrunners. Each way value. CONVOCATION (6) is the stablemate of the top pick. She would have come on a lot since her last start and will love the rise to 1200m. Watch for her late.
