GOING: S

Hygain Fillies & Mares BM64 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54).  

Plenty of early pressure expected primarily from Tornado's Sister and Shooting For Stars. RUBICON CROSSING (2) was off a break when finishing just behind the placegetters here on March 29. Is going to strip much fitter for the run and is expected to give this a shake. PURE RAIN (9) was freshened before getting back and hitting the line well at Pakenham. Strips fitter this time and is worth including in the hopes. MYSTERY BLONDE (8) registered a first-up win here over this trip before battling home fairly in a similar race last time. Gets a senior rider on board this time and will give this a shake. HOLY TYCOON (4) bounced back to winning form with a strong win at Yarra Valley. Has been kept fresh since and is expected to again feature here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box up numbers 2,4,8 & 9 in a quinella.
