Bill Harding Memorial Handicap 1207m Track: Good 4 Clouds (Max: 15) Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Elite Party. This looks open. SPORTS CHOICE (13) missed a lip first-up improved and then spiked her figures narrowly beaten at Ballarat. Maps well and the longer sprint should be right up her alley. Fitter and can go one better. KULINA (15) rates okay on the Cranbourne run and maps for the run of the race. Can be in the finish holding that form. HIDDEN COMFORT (3) has been freshened and has won a Moe Maiden since last seen. She has scope for improvement and the 2kg claim is handy. CONTINENTAL KISS (6) won a Maiden first-up in good style. Lightly raced and and will keep improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sports Choice each way.
