GOING: G

Sportsbet Ken and Helen Smith SA Fillies Classic 2500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire, Sectional 605m. (Pent: 5.45).  

Many of these have the speed to be prominent but is likely Quadtratic can take up the running at a strong tempo. POSITIVITY (1) only warmed to her task late last start in the G1 Australasian Oaks after drifting back early. The extra trip will be no concern and gets Lane piloting from a favourable draw. Will take some stopping. THE AUTUMN BELLE (3) finished alongside Positivity last start and is another that gets the chance to take much closer order, drawn the inside pillar. Williams on is a positive and recent efforts suggest she will eat up the 2500m. HARVEST MOON (7) carries different form-lines, producing a strong chasing effort on the same day in the Chairman's. Is yet to be tested over this journey but holds genuine claims. SUN GIFT (12) was closing hard on the winner last start at Cranbourne in a strong maiden. Blinkers on first time will have her focused and the booking of Kah is a good push for her chances. ZAMBEZI KHAN (2) stuck on gamely into the frame just seven days ago behind a smart winner at Caulfield. Fitter again and anticipate him to be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harvest Moon each-way.
