GOING: S(6)

McDonald Electrical BM62 Handicap 2400m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Prince Pinot to take up the running with Flashlight and Autumn Diamonds close at hand. AURORA RISE (7) is racing consistently without winning, close up in the G3 SA Fillies Classic in Adelaide two back before another good effort at Swan Hill behind Vegas Jack, who has since won nicely at Flemington in tougher grade. The form looks good and she should take beating. BRILLANTEZZA (10) is a lightly raced filly who gets up in trip here which should suit. She was well backed at Wangaratta last time but struggled on the bottomless track. Can improve quickly. FLASHLIGHT (1) is racing well, just missing last time at Donald over 2200m. This is his best trip and he should take plenty of catching. SASTERION (11) struggled over 3600m last time, the maiden win prior can see him improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aurora Rise on top.
