GOING: G

Catanachs Jewellers Bendigo Gold Bracelet 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with Poifect probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. In a wide-open race MOLLYNICKERS (9) represents good value. Last raced over this trip three back when she won a BM84 at Geelong. Had an eight-week let-up before her last start seventh over 1200m at Caulfield. Fitter and back to her right trip so looks a serious chance. POIFECT (7) found the line well without threatening when fresh from a spell over 1100m at Flemington last time out. Best form comes at today's trip. Stakes-winning mare who just needs luck from the poor gate to be highly competitive. ZLOTIES (13) drove hard to get the prize last start over 1300m at Sandown. Stepping up in grade but she is very fit and doesn't know how to run a bad race. LOVAZOU (4) hasn't been all that far away in her two runs this time in work. Draws a nice gate and can improve sharply. EXTRATWO (2) was only 1.4 lengths behind Brudenell at the Valley two back. Cherry ripe and needs 1400m now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mollynickers each-way.
