GOING: G

Petaluma Wines Handicap (Heat of Sportsbet Viddora Series) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.26).  

Colorado Cruz, Silver Cliff and Lucille Rose to battle for the lead at a cracking tempo over this sprint journey. Sparingly raced mare SILVER CLIFF (6) changed tactics and took a sit last start over 1100m at Hamilton before going on to record her maiden victory. Tackling a better line-up today but she is progressing nicely and looks ready to step up to six furlongs. CARARADA (7) came from next to last on the bend to be beaten just 1.6 lengths when resuming over 1050m here three weeks ago. Placed 5/7 at today's trip so she should come on with the run under the belt. MISS REMSKI (5) has been safely held in her two runs this time in work. Significantly she is the winner of both races when third-up, both at this distance, so she is anticipated to improve sharply. OUR SHINING STAR (2) appreciated the 32-day let-up when a barnstorming winner over this journey at Balaklava on 21 August. Big chance again with the gap between runs. KRISTOBEL (4) resumes and is capable of a top four finish while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silver Cliff to win again.
