CONFEDERATE STANDING AT COBBITTY EQUINE FARM 3YO TROTTERS FOUNDATION HEAT 3 2300m

Track: FAST      

ELLE PERFECTO (9) beat many of these rivals for a resuming win two back at this venue then came from a 30m handicap when beaten only 1.7m into second against older rivals last week. Draws wider but going well and is suited back against her own age group. GLADIATRIX (10) broke following interference last start so prepared to forgive that. Had kicked off her campaign with seconds in both a heat and the final of the Gold Coronet at Bathurst. Has won five of seven tries here and has the talent to overcome the outside barrier. WHAT THE TOOTH (6) came from this barrier for a 2m second to Elle Perfecto last start. Go well again. DESIRING DIAMONDS (8) will be fitter for a respectable third when resuming from a similar barrier.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Notanotha Naughty at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo LR No NR on March 28 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Elle Perfecto at this track over 1609m in a 3yo No NR on April 7 at $12. Could be close to a win.
