THE RACE AGAINST SUICIDE MAIDEN HANDICAP 2000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Think I Will leading from Time For Snow and Aerostern Bro. DANCE WITH DESTINY (4) progressing well after finishing sixth in the G1 ATC Oaks three starts back. Three weeks between runs when she loomed strongly to finish a gritty second over 2200m at Newcastle. Blinkers come off and expected to shed her Maiden tag. THINK I WILL (7) fourth-up for this and will benefit with the blinkers going on today. Came out quickly and was a spent force in the straight when fifth over 1850m at Newcastle. Finds an easier race and caught the eye here two-back. JADE SUNSET (2) showed a ton of grit when she jumped in trip for a game third over 2200m at Newcastle. Adept in all conditions and doesn't need to improve much to win this. TIME FOR SNOW (3) finished runner-up at all five runs this time in and stays in the mix after finishing second over 1900m at Canberra Acton in C1 grade. Each way contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dance With Destiny finds her race.
