GOING: G

Picklebet's Pickle Perks Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32)  

Kaygeebee to take charge ahead of Nina Carmella at a good tempo. Big field and even race. TRIUMPHANTLY (1) has good form with two wins followed by two minors. Hit the line hard for a close-up third last time and expected to be tough to hold out again. FAITHINHER (6) was close to the speed fresh from a long break and finished third last start over 1000m at Ballarat, beaten 3 lengths. Back a grade for this and will strip much fitter. Hard to beat. OUR MALYSHKA (9) returns from a break and presents on the back of three jump-outs. Best form has been fresh so expected to fire. KAYGEEBEE (4) has been good in two runs in finishing runner-up at both. Speedy type who will take catching. CROATIAN ART (10) has been racing in richer company and gets her chance to find her best in this class. SUGGESTED PLAY: Following in on Triumphantly.
