GOING: S

Ladbroke It! BM64 Handicap 1717m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.99).  

Just an even tempo wit no noted leaders. BRAVE MISS (11) is a handy type who should take some beating here. A dominant winner first up at Werribee, she was poor at Pakenham but bounced back with a strong closing second at Mornington. Any extra ground will only suit more now and she can take this out. AIMING (6) is racing well and is always a strong hope in this grade. She was only beaten two lengths in a Bm78 last time out which reads well. MAXXI BON (13) was solid first-up at this track and will be fitter for the rise in trip. In the mix. NORTHERN BARRAGE (7) was good first up at Geelong when beaten under a length. Fitter for that and should be hard to hold out. NORMA'S FLEET (18) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Miss to win.
