GOING: S(6)

Ros and Lee take on Southside Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.61)  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. Tough finish. LADY SADLER (2) resumed with a very smart win here over 1300m, coming clear to score by 1.75 lengths as favourite in a small field. She looks to have come back better this time around and will be well fancied to make it a double. BEAUTIFULLY (6) is a lightly raced filly who comes here fresh, last seen battling home in a strong 3yo race in town. That form has been franked nicely and she can roll forward from out wide. JENNI YOU THINK (3) resumes for her second campaign. She showed good ability quickly in three runs last time in, winning over a mile here on debut. This may be a touch sharp but she has the ability. TILL QUEEN (12) struggled in a good race last time, this suits better and she draws well. THUNDER HAWK (4) has been let up since struggling in a BM70 here last time out. Her form prior reads well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Sadler to win.
