GOING: G

VTR Medical Services Fillies & Mares BM64 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: TRUE 1600m - 1000m, Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.24)  

Keen tempo headed by Grouse Mountain. Open race. AHHA AHHA (5) was far too good here last time out to break her maiden, showing early speed and kicking right away to score by four lengths. Can land on speed from the inside draw and measure up strongly. GROUSE MOUNTAIN (8) broke through for a deserved maiden win here last time out and may be able to go on with it now. BLACKBERRY BOMB (2) was just fair fresh but this is a fair bit easier. SWEET JASMINE (3) also rates a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Ahha Ahha.
