GOING: S

DevilBend Golf Club Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Immerse and Not Surprised kicking up to hold out the next wave. Competitive. IMMERSE (9) switched from James Cummings and struck immediately when winning heavily-bet on the synthetic. She brought strong Maiden turf form to that and has more to offer. Placed her only second-up run and she can take the next step. STEAMY MIST (8) resumed in a 64 at Cranbourne with a nose defeat and then disappointed at Bendigo. Presents fitter and is worth another chance at the each-way quote. Wary of NOT SURPRISED (7) resuming off a long break for a leasing metre yard. She's raced at Stakes level and was spelled after one start last preparation. She's one both her jumpouts with race-rider McNeil aboard and promote her in the pecking order if serious money comes. NORMANDY LASS (6) will use the inside gate and was an easy Bairnsdale Maiden winner first-up. Showing promise and will get every chance to build on that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Steamy Miss each way.
