Redaluca Girl to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ZORKO (3) has put together back-to-back placings and no excuses today from the inside draw. Closed strongly in the heavy conditions for a narrow second over 1850m at Newcastle. Tackling a weaker race and can finally get off the mark at start nine. GEMTIKI (4) jumped in trip with an eye catching third over 1600m at Kembla Grange in a Super Maiden. Bred to get this trip and further and sure to be thereabouts. LINDA'S PRINCESS (6) fifth-up for this and gives the indication she's looking for ground. Chipped away late with a plugging sixth over 1450m at this track. Can race a little closer today. REDALUCA GIRL (8) earlier runs had merit and can run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zorko should prove too good for these.
