GOING: S(5)

TAB STAR WAY STAKES 1200m

Track: SOFT5     True  

There is assured pace and pressure here in this Listed field of juveniles. LOVE POEM (6) multiple class dropper. Trial winner earlier this month. Drawn to win. DREAM OF THE MOON (7) fresh up but ready after a trial second clockwise. Class dropper. Dry tracker so far. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (8) won debut and both her trials prior as well. Yet to taste defeat. DOMAIN ACE (1) will not be paying as much this time. Drawn wide. FILLYGIZALOOK (9) is a filly on debut. Three times trialled for a win and two seconds. Dam has left two winning foals with Pulchritudinous (3 wins) the most prolific. SUGGESTED PLAY: Love Poem is a win wager.
