GOING: N

THE PUB - DRIVE OF THE DAY PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

HEAVENLY SONG (2) is in good form. Finished fourth at her latest appearance at Newcastle and had placed in her previous three outings, two of them here. A good draw gives her the chance to break through. SHIRALEE (5) produced a good performance last time out, finishing fourth at Newcastle. Placed the last two times she raced at this venue. Leading hope. FROZEN JEWEL (1) gave a good sight for second from this barrier at her most recent appearance at Narrabri and has been kept up to the mark with a trial since. OUR ART CHRISTIAN (3) draws well and is worth thought after his last-start fourth from the back row at Newcastle.
