GOING:

2025 ALLENBY LODGE STUD 2YO PACING FILLIES SOUTHERN CROSS SERIES (FINAL) (LISTED CLASSIC) (SKY 1) 1800m

Track: GOOD      

HILLTOP BLOSSOM (1) was a class above in her return to this circuit last time, taking advantage of this draw to lead and cruise home by nearly 25m. That followed top-four finishes in all three rounds of the Vicbred Super Series. Gets the inside barrier again so is impossible to tip against. CENTREFOLD STAR (3) was anther impressive winner last start, leading and getting home by 18 metres. That took her strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent and she draws to be prominent again. MEZZANOTTI (9) has a lot of ground to make up Hilltop Blossom through the last-start second but had some sound Victorian form prior including a St Arnaud win last month. The consistent GRUMPYPANTS GRACIE (5) is a first-four player.
