GOING: G(4)

Ranvet (Bm78) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 7m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.58).  

Speed from Sheree and Zambezi Diamond. Pace should be genuine. The step to 1200m shapes as the big key for CHEEKY BABE. Turned over deep into odds on last time but the winner came out and won well here last week so the form looks good and she won't be run off her legs up in trip today. Ready to win and we know that she can go to a higher level based on her best form with her former stable. This will be a good mares race of opinions. CHEEKY BABE rarely runs a bad one. She does get back but hits the line hard. She gets in with a really nice weight today. GREY STREET was beaten a nose last time in Adelaide. She draws to get a perfect run all the way. This might be an easier race. ENTRANCING goes for three on the bounce. This will be harder but she is attacking the line. She is a mare in form. FLORELLE has been taking on male company and running extremely well. The mare did win her only start here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cheeky Babe in a good race.
