GOING: G

The TBV VOBIS Platinum Showdown 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Strong early pace with Bold Bastille and Mrs Archibald pushing forward, along with Lincolnshire from out wide. BOLD BASTILLE (8) has won four of her five starts to date and could not have been more impressive scoring at Bendigo last time. Steps up to the 1200m here but shapes as though she will handle it. Looks the one to beat. LINKVUE (1) chased home Bold Bastille on debut at Bendigo. Is going to derive a lot of benefit from the run and the extra ground here will be a plus. Forward showing on the cards. LINCOLNSHIRE (10) raced on the speed and showed a lot of fight when successful on debut in Adelaide. Looks to have loads of ability and will give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Bold Bastille to win.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently was favourite when winning by 2.25 len at Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush April 13 over 1000m defeating Linkvue carrying 56kg at $1.20. The race before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at this track LR Redoute's March 16 over 1100m defeating Immortal Star carrying 56.5kg at $1.50. Has a touch of class about her and should be hard to beat.
