Hamilton Race 6 - Southern Cross Feeds Maiden Pace
SIZZLE ORO (4) had been racing in great heart then was again in fine form last start when he finished second over 1700m at Horsham, beaten a nose. Meets a comparable field so he can pick up that long overdue win. POMERANZ (13) ran seventh last start at Maryborough over 2190m, beaten 23 metres. Expect her to be prominent. FLY AHEAD (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Horsham over 1700m. Genuine threat. SEABLASTER (8) only finished last of six last time out over 1660m at Victor Harbor wehn on debut but having now had racing experience can place.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2180m after showing early pace at Stawell beaten 30 m by Jilliby Sniper (2:42.50) in MAIDEN on November 30 at $26. Two runs back 9th (Fr4) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat, beaten 45 m by Jilliby Kymy Lou (2:03.60) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on October 30 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind River Storm at Melton over 1720m in a 2yo 10 0K on December 27 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Namella at Horsham over 1700m in a MAIDEN on January 5 at $1.40. Another bold showing expected.
