GOING: H(8)

BORONIA GARDENS VILLAGE HANDICAP 2100m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy What A Prince leading the way. WARRALEA LASS (2) couldn't bring up the hat-trick at Ascot last start when 4.6L off the winner over 2200m. She's well weighted despite what she's done recently and she draws a much better gate this time. Mahony's claim comes in handy and she can return to winning ways. WHAT A PRINCE (1) just missed last start over 1800m at Ascot when only 0.2L off the winner as a $31 chance in Saturday company. He should be close to the speed from barrier four and he'll appreciate this easier company. Racing well and can play a major role. DUCHEES DEMERIT (4) was good 16 days ago at Ascot over 2200m in Midweek company, running on from midfield to be 1.8L off the winner. Placed to advantage here and he can finish off strongly late in the race. PURE CHINO (10) comes into this with strong form and can make his presence felt. DEADLY AND FAST (6) is racing well and gets the Blinkers on again today. Drawn inside and can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Warralea Lass can return to winning ways.
