5:20am - TAB VENUE MODE HANDICAP | 1350m | | i

WINTER IN AMERICA should cross and take up the running here without too much pressure (tempo: STEADY). LUCICELLO sprinted best off a slow speed first-up when beating Invictus Salute (since won) and she finished right alongside PUMPKIN PIE and HANDSPUN last start. Perhaps coming to her home track and getting more galloping room will be the recipe for success again third-up. HANDFAST (gets back, second-up?) and PUMPKIN PIE (1350m suits now, poor Rosehill record) both right in the mix too. FREEHEARTED only needs to find her run from two starts ago to be competitive and WORD FOR WORD has big talent, but will find her best over further. [updated 9:04am]
