GOING:

HRNSW GUARANTEED LADYSHIP PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

HIGHINDELIGHT (5) has been tackling the good fillies of late and did manage a placing in a Gold Bracelet heat last month. Came from this barrier to win over this distance the last time she raced at this venue so is better placed. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (3) is ticking along well having finished runner-up in two of three starts since scoring a win at this circuit and distance. Draws for another good showing. CAPTAINS DELIGHT (2) is progressing well, winning her maiden at this circuit and distance then chasing a promising rival for second at Menangle last start. Draws to be competitive. JETASI (1) goes up in grade but has been coming from wider or second row barriers so is well served by the ace draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track beaten 15 m by Nothingbutwaves (2:03.10) in NR up to 54 on April 16 at $21. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.69 beaten 6 m by Lochiel (2:04.00) in NR up to 52 on April 9 at $7. This looks far too tough.

Two runs back 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 6 m by King Hit (1:54.60) in NR up to 57 on March 13 at $26. This looks a far sterner test.
