GOING: SL(8)

Hawaiian Airlines (Bm75) 2100m

Track: SLOW8   Showers Early   Rail: Out 2.5m.  

Opera Knight should take up the lead again here in what looks an even tempo. Modest pace in the race but several will be trapped out here so either must go forward or back as quickly as possible. REAL THIRSTY may well end up controlling this and therefore can win. Never out of the money on the track. A cutting up surface suits BEE TEE JUNIOR and looks a strong trifecta and first four chance. BIG DREAMER is a solidly built mare and ready for the middle distance now. Include. Prize Lad has been placed in two of three runs on the track. Chance. Dragon Beauty after a 3kg claim is the one for overs. Massive class dropper. Distance ideal. Her stablemate Jacksstar is about to show some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Real Thirsty for the win.
