3:30am - MAURICE ROLFE HANDICAP | 1100m | | i

Fillies and mares over the 1100m, early pressure from ALASSIO and WITHERSPOON setting a FAIR to STRONG tempo. ALASSIO was solid last start, but she is a Waterhouse sprinter third-up staying to a very sharp 1100m on firm ground. Not the best set-up (perhaps wants further, tougher conditions) and she did fail here last prep. Looking for the right types IN GOOD TIME shapes as a big chance from a perfect trail behind the pace, check the yard for her after a break. CHARLAYNE (wide last start, better with cover) and CONNEMARA both suited back to a sharper sprint trip here after failing at 1300m. MISS CELEBRATION needs to do it all again on a firmer track in higher grade. ALART in the mix for a place. [updated 8:42am]
