GOING: G

Coopers Brewery Fillies & Mares Rating 0 - 62 Handicap (Heat of Provincial Pathways Series) 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.55).  

Moderate tempo headed by Stella Notation. NULLIFY (5) progressed nicely at the latest when closing off strongly into the placings at Oakbank. Carries strong form lines and is expected to take plenty of stopping third-up. FIELD THE MOMENT (1) doesn't win out of turn but rarely turns in a poor one. Wasn't far away again last start when filling the frame on the Parks track. Drops in grade and rates a winning chance. HAYAI MESU (6) wasn't far away two back and then produced another solid chase into the placings at Oakbank. Ticking along nicely and doesn't have to improve much more to be featuring. GRINZINGER BURG (3) came through a good form race at Ararat to get the verdict at Stony Creek. Confidence boosting win that puts her in good stead. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nullify to win.
