GOING: G(4)

Wodonga Jewellers BM56 Handicap 1590m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Hot tempo expected with Parabellum, Vegas On Fire and Besson heading the charge. VEGAS ON FIRE (7) is busting to win. She will use an inside barrier and is suited at country level. Gets a senior hoop for the 2kg apprentice. BREEZY BON (1) got on to a good track and spiked her figures winning a 58 at Wangaratta, stepping up to this trip. Raced forward in that and may do the same here. She has more scope for improvement and can go on with it. LOVE SPARKLES (6) just missed this grade at Tatura, going much better on a good track. Has an awkward gate but peaks and can get into the finish. ATAEGINA (5) is proving hard to catch, but she's been racing in much stronger and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Vegas On Fire.
1 1x761 BREEZY BON
