GOING: G(4)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Fillies and Mares BM60 Handicap 1350m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 30)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.30)  

Pace looks genuine from Coco Jewel, The Rookie and Ratenotice, closely attended by Mishani Quest. SHE MOVES TOO (3) showed more like her best second-up, beaten 2L at Hawkesbury. Has been switched north by the Waller barn on a 29-day return and is well placed. Won at Benalla over 1406m at her only third-up outing. Ben Thompson's booking adds to the confidence. RATENOTICE (6) was an easy Maiden winner here and then came back and missed a nose this trip in a CL1. Maps well and is a decent chance to bounce. HEY CHARDONNAY (14) can go a lot better today. Flopped on a heavy track at the Sunshine Coast but was only beaten 1.3L there prior over 1400m in a 58. Peaks and has to be kept safe. THE ROOKIE (4) races forward and won a CL1 at Grafton, improving again. Tackles a longer sprint for the first time, and racing forward can be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Moves Too to win.
