GOING: G

Qantas Hcp (C2) 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Mostly Clear   Rail: Rail is at the inside position. (Pent: 5.5).  

MISS HARLEY QUINN may get a soft lead and won comfortably this grade and trip 10 days ago. That was a peak and she’s well-placed to repeat. SHIBUYA CROSSING sits handy and just missed 2U at Northam. The Durrant galloper is a strong chance if he takes his place. ANGELIC ANGEL is racing well and had no luck as favourite the latest. Gets Rawiller off an inside gate and keep safe. MISS HARLEY QUINN has the superior gate speed here and should go to the front and control proceedings. Did just that last start over this course and distance, giving a kick when pressured to hold her rivals by a neat length on the line. This is no harder so happy to stick. SHIBUYA CROSSING appreciated the step back from city class last start when a tough 2nd over this trip at Northam. Willie Pike won aboard last prep and regains the mount this afternoon in a key engagement. ANGELIC ANGEL ran into traffic at the furlong last start and looked a little stiff when a close 5th over this trip. Very fit now and drawn perfectly. Back-marker CHHAYA will be closing hard and is one for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Miss Harley Quinn.
