GOING: S(5)

LUCENT ROYALE Fillies and Mares Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 4.87)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Miss Highfalutin and Star Venture leading the way. STAR VENTURE (8) showed her customary pace but found one better last start over this trip at Grafton, her sixth career minor placing. Beautifully drawn and at her 15th start a maiden win might come calling. MISS HIGHFALUTIN (6) is back from a 23-week spell. Raced once over this trip in the maiden prep and was in the money on debut at the Sunshine Coast. Trialling in great style and looks ready to make a big return. PAPER DOLL (2) closed well to finish second when returning from a break over 1000m here recently. Nicely placed out to this trip and is a definite contender. VIDEO VIXEN (12) didn't fire first-up but back on home soil might be worth including in wide exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Venture to win.

Second-up today. Last outing made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track 4yo+ Mdn on October 11 over 1000m, slow going 2.75 len behind Enhance carrying 54.5kg at $3.70. At only start last preparation 6th of 11 at Ipswich Cl1-Sw on March 13 over 800m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Hidden Nugget with 55kg at $13. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form over this more suitable trip.

Previously second-up second last of 10 at Sunshine Coast F&M Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Dazzling Diamond carrying 57kg at $61. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
