GOING: S

AFC - Peter & Lavella DaRose F&M BM70 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.42).  

Slick tempo assured from Wind Dreamer and Picky leading the charge. PICKY (4) has had three runs back from a spell and been good in all of them, beaten half a length by a handy filly last start over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside. She's a speedy type who can bounce to the front and will take catching. OUR MALYSHKA (5) is a lightly raced filly who wasn't beaten far first-up at Sale having won on debut. Open to plenty of improvement and should be right in the finish. IPHIMEDIA (1) resumes. Two runs last time in were just fair but they were in handy company. Her best juvenile form would go close in this. WIND DREAMER (7) returned to the winners' circle last time out over 1000m at Werribee, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Racing well and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Picky to win.
