Morphettville   27 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Queen Of The South Stakes 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.42).  

Pace on from the outset with En Francais and Soul Choice pushing forward, closely attended by Seonee. SEONEE (5) is progressing nicely this prep and her form is heading the right way. She made up some ground at Caulfield last start and though no match for the winner that day she did savage the line late. She steps up to a mile which seems like the ideal next step and she is the one to beat here. LEGACIES (18) was a brave BM78 winner at Caulfield 3 weeks ago when clinging on to victory by a head after making all of the running that day. He is a hard horse to get past when his mind is on the job and with 6 kilos less to carry this time, he could take some pegging back again. CAMPIONESSA (1) is a high-class Kiwi mare who tried hard from a wide gate at Randwick last start when finishing ninth in Group 1 class but less than 3 lengths from the winner. She has a great record at the mile and has attracted James McDonald to the saddle. Don't drop her just yet. Can win. LADY JONES (10) let down very nicely when scoring second up over 1400 metres at Bendigo 2 weeks ago. She is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Seonee to win.
