GOING: S(5)

XXXX GOLD Fillies & Mares Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +12m Entire course. (Pent: 5.90)  

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1200m journey. This could turn out to be a handy form race. ACAPULCO GIRL (2) hasn't done much wrong with a win and two seconds from three outings to date and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Winning rider Maloney reunites and rates a leading contender against this line-up. ZOUFANI (5) was a dominant Ipswich winner on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Jumps from the inside alley and can make it back-to-back wins to commence the career. Former NSW mare RED HOT LIZZIE (1) just ran into one better when having her first local run and is sure to have come with that effort now in the locker. Top-three aspirations. DIVINE SOURCE (8) broke the maiden status when resuming and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Cannot be underestimated. PRIVATE EQUITY (6) next best from the Vandyke stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 2,5,1.
