GOING: N

SUSANNE SMITH & ASSOCIATES PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

LOMBOK (5) brings strong form from Victoria. She was successful two starts ago then kept the momentum going at her latest appearance over 1609m at Charlton, finding the front from this barrier before scoring comfortably by 6 metres. Take beating. JOANIES A PEARLER (4) returns to the East yard having raced in Victoria last campaign. Has recorded two wins and a placing in three attempts at this circuit and distance and is proven fresh. MODERN JOLT (3) led and fought well for a last-start maiden win by a head at this venue. Draws to play a role again. PURPLE KAIDA (1) was only beaten 1.3m when resuming and gets the ace draw so can progress.
