---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Sisters Pick, Ilzoomya and Loving Angel prominent. SISTERS PICK (11) is racing in career-best form and this is her pet trip. Zipped across from the wide gate to lead throughout when a neck winner over 1200m at Dubbo on April 7. Has a good fresh record and the 3kg claim helps from the inside gate. ILZOOMYA (5) holding form well and looks one of the hardest to beat after sticking on well with the 58.5kg when second over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle) on March 25. This is much easier after bumping into some handy types of late. BARE TO WITNESS (8) resumes with an okay fresh record over this trip. Back in grade after finishing tenth behind Sydney Bowler over 1300m at Randwick in BM72 on December 30. Fitted with a recent trial and watch for him swooping late. ARIMATHEA (12) tough mare who bounced back to form with a gritty second over 1100m at Bathurst over 1100m on April 25. Maps well with the claim and has genuine winning prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sisters Pick to win.
