GOING: G(4)

Broadside Lawyers Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Nepravda leading the way. HUSTLE IN HEELS (1) won well on debut at Caulfield Heath in a handy three-year-old maiden which saw her start $2.50 at Mornington, encountering plenty of traffic issues there when finishing second last. Forgive that, she's got upside and can bounce back. MCKEYLA (5) is a promising filly who measured up well to BM74 grade at Flemington last start over 1100m, beaten just a neck in a tight finish. Up to 1200m should be no issue, she is likely to get a long way back though. NEPRAVDA (6) won quite well fresh at Mornington over this trip and can go on with the job now. She can find the front and take catching. PORSHA CRYSTAL (9) was a dominant winner two back at Stawell, perhaps not suited down the straight at Flemington last time. Can improve. PRIVALOVA (2) won easily fresh at Kilmore and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hustle In Heels to win.
