2024 70m Frankston Gift Womens

Again, thought I'd help out Donatello by doing the poll this week

Tara Beasley starts as the backmarker this weekend (2.25m) and last years winner Zoe Neale just in front of her off 2.5m, back 1m from her winning handicap last year.
Maryborough was the most recent womens 70m, with Amelia Spenceley winning and has also entered here. She's on 6.25m (back 0.75m from Maryborough).
Mia Spencer is one to watch, 6.25m looms as a dangerous mark for an in form runner, and also reigned victorious in the 100m race last year.
Ruby Crisp is the one to beat though. Having a great season and only just got pipped at Rye in the gift.
Isabella Hollins is my left of field choice, been in my blackbook since her scintillating performance in the 120m junior race at Maryborough

Very tough final to pick, but I'll grit my teeth and do my best to predict the final. I want to see my friends Dwight, Jim, Tim, Donatello all have a go too.

Neale
Keratianos 3rd
Wang Lec
Patsouras
Hollins
Spenceley
Spencer 2nd
Crisp 1st


Patsouras to win the 100m

Mia Spencer 6.25m from Chloe Kinnersly, tough to pick third and other finalist. Well handicapped.

After getting 7 of the 8 Rye Finalists ,missing only on Holten who was scratched I will have a go here. POD to let one go here and I think Martin will win it. I reckon Kinnersly waits for Stawell but will be interesting if she runs. Can final here though. Crisp and Spencer to fight for second and third. Ellie K and Cassandra WL to add a bit of class to the Final. Agree with Norm that Patsouras wins the 100m and follows the Spencer path to a Certain Stawell Gift semi and definitely a shot at making the final

Bucking the trend here and putting Laura McDougall out there. Off 10m and clocking 8.5's at Maryborough off the same mark.... HAS to be a threat. Still has 10m and ran 8.6 off 9.5m after a break. No one has her in the final, I'm going with her for the W.
