Genuine tempo with the speedy Sister Shay leading the way.
Free rolling mare SISTER SHAY (2) has won three from her last four, all on the Victorian country/provincial circuit. Led and gave nothing else a chance in a $40k BM70 over 1300m at Wodonga last start. Twice a winner at or around this trip from three attempts. This isn't overly tough so she looks a great chance once again. MISS HADES (1) is the obvious threat after leading all the way for an effortless win last time out over the mile at Warwick Farm. Drops 1kg after the claim and should at least hold that form at just the third run back. Big chance again. EMBALLEE (4) turned in an eye-catcher over 1400m at the Kensington track recently, flashing home from near the tail to grab second. Her only win came under Berry who is back aboard. Definite contender. BAKERLOO (3) ran a much better race last start when second-up from a spell. Worth some thought out to this more suitable journey. Last start Gosford maiden winner O CARA MIA (8) is in the mix down on the limit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sister Shay and Miss Hades.
