GOING: G

Hygain Edge Fillies & Mares Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 43)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Slick pace with Snappy Pierro finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. DIVINE JUSTICE (6) has placed in both runs back from a spell, solid fresh at Kyneton then running a very good race at Sandown Lakeside in what looks a tougher race, only beaten a length into third behind two smart types. This suits perfectly and she should go close. SNAPPY PIERRO (8) is racing well. She was big odds in the same race as Divine Justice last time but wasn't far away. She draws well and has claims. SAVANNAH CHILL (4) was just fair fresh at Ballarat but that was a fair bit stronger and she's lightly raced with plenty of upside to come. BLISTERING (1) finished second two back then could only manage seventh last time over 1400m at Sandown-Lakeside. Can improve here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divine Justice to win.
