---|---|---|---|---|
Laddie Of Oakview can dictate. QUINTESSENTIALLY returned to form back in grade last start when placing over 2100m at Te Teko. Should be rock hard fit at this point of her campaign. BLUE LAGOON has improved with each run this campaign. Is a promising staying mare on the way up. Watch for her late. Competitive final event and has a 5kg spread from top to bottom. There are multiple pace influences so should not see any walking allowed. QUINTESSENTIALLY has huge upside but needs some cushion in the ground. Won her only left-handed outing. WHAT A DIVA looks a colossal weight special. She is a double class dropper on a last start fourth yet is up just 1kg here. Incredible. OUR ABBADEAN has been racing well this time in. She won her lone outing here at home. Heart Beat can carry the weight no worries. Never out of the money on the track. Imperium never got in the race last start at G2. Massive class dropper. The rider on Blue Lagoon is two-for-two atop the mare. Mongolian Legend is taking a different route than most towards the Derby. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inclined to go wide in the last. Multiples with Quintessentially, Blue Lagoon, Our Abbadean and Heart Beat.
