---|---|---|---|---|
A solid tempo on the cards with Sandrine leading the way. COMMUNICATION (2) back sharply in class for this after tiring late when sixth over 1500m at Yarra Valley on March 29. Better suited back to this trip and go on her runs two and three back. LETME ENTERTAINYOU (7) drifted back early before making up ground late when fifth over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a fairly weak contest and can turn things around. SANDRINE (8) has returned much stronger this prep and holding her form well. Sat on a solid speed when tiring to finish third over 1200m at Geelong on April 12. Fitter now and stays in the mix. NAUTICO (9) bounced back to winning form at Canberra last start and rates a chance in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,7,8,9.
