GOING: H

Ladbrokes Fillies & Mares 0-56 Handicap 1100m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.69)  

Eastern Odyssey should lead at a slick tempo. SHANGHAI VENTURE (2) disappointed two back at Geelong, but the form around that reads strongly. Went well in a metro 80 three back and was nudged out at this level at Kyneton last time. Can race forward and finds the right race. DOMINANT MISS (6) ran his best race beaten less than 2L in the same contest. Needs some luck pushing forward but can get into the money today. TRAK CHILLER (3) resumes and didn't come up last preparation. He showed enough early doors to say this is winnable if she's presented on song. The betting will be key. CHARMING DI (4) made good improvement, delivering a 52 at Bairnsdale a month ago. This is a bit harder, but winning form is good form in a moderate contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shanghai Venture.
