GOING: G(4)

JOAN PERCY MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.76)  

Pretty Devine should find the front with On Just Terms and Queen's Sacrifice on her heels. ON JUST TERMS (8) sat on the speed and was far too good for her rivals here 21 days ago, bolting in by 2.3L. This looks to shape similarly and while she drops back to 1300m this time, that doesn't appear an issue. Looks a filly on the way up and she can bring up back-to-back wins. QUEEN'S SACRIFICE (7) has been close to the speed her past couple, scoring over 1400m last start in this grade. She'll be able to roll across from the sticky gate and she's a winning hope if she can run up to her recent figures. PRETTY DEVINE (2) missed by 3.8L last start in a much stronger race and looks better suited to this event today. The 3kg claim comes in handy and she's expected to bounce back to her best form under suitable circumstances. KAKADU (3) flew home to just miss last start and has to be included. SCOTTISH LAIRD (1) can improve back in grade after a couple of disappointing efforts recently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to back On Just Terms.
