GOING: G(4)

Gippsland Premium Quarries Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Miss Kasei to take charge ahead of Olivia Rose at a good tempo. Siding with the resuming BANKNOTE HUSTLER (4) who went to the paddock a very smart maiden winner, beating OLIVIA ROSE (6) who also turns up here. Banknote Hustler started $1.95 that day at Geelong and won very well. With a good ride from a tricky gate he'll go close. Not knocking Olivia Rose who went on with it after that run, putting together a string of good runs. She kicks off here as well and should get map favours over the main danger. FEARLESS WRITER (5) presents third up having closed off well for second at Sandown Lakeside last time. Currie on is a good jockey change. ESPANA (10) struggled fresh over 1000m at Sandown Lakeside behind a sharp filly. She can improve sharply off that. MAFEE (7) has been good in two runs back and has each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Banknote Hustler to win.
