GOING: S(7)

ive > Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 7     Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit.  

Hot pace certain with Warui, Romantic Choice and Thinking Of Gerty keen to take up the running. Tricky race. SOJU (3) resumes off some strong jump-out form. She mixed her form a bit last time in but her best was well up to winning a race like this and if she comes back as expected, she should take plenty of beating from a nice gate. SISTERHOOD (2) resumes. She only had one run last time in and struggled, albeit in a stronger race. She showed plenty of promise early doors although 1000m is potentially a touch sharp. Watch the betting. FRAGILE LOVE (4) has been around the mark in two runs back from a spell and gets D Lane back aboard. She's right in the mix. MOON AND BACK (1) has been good in two 955m runs at Moonee Valley although her racing pattern makes things tough. ROMANTIC CHOICE (6) is a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Soju to win.
