GOING: S(5)

TAB ADRIAN KNOX STAKES 2000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.43)  

Strong tempo with Dominetta, Exclusive Artist and Jayashree leading the way. POLYMNIA (9) exciting filly who comes here hard fit and in peak form. Smashed her rivals when shedding her maiden status in great style over 1800m at Hawkesbury. Will be even stronger over the 2000m and Zac Lloyd sticks. YOU WAHNG (5) nice filly who jumped sharply in class and trip when surging late to run an unlucky seventh over 1600m in the G3 Kembla Grange Classic. Peaking at the right time with the blinkers going on. Gets her chance with Williams aboard. DOMINETTA (1) came out fast from the wide draw and showed plenty of grit on the line when a narrow fourth over 1600m in the G3 Kembla Grange Classic. Gives weight to most of these from the wide gate and will need everything to go right. CANNY QUEEN (3) close enough in the run but no match late when fifth over 2000m in the G1 Vinery at Rosehill on Tuesday. Value prospect screwed right down for this. EXCLUSIVE ARTIST (14) returned good figures in average company at Gosford over the mile. Keeps improving and deserves her chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Polymnia to win again.

Profiles nicely. Gives weight to most of these and shapes as a key runner.
