SANDBAR GUINEAS PRELUDE 3YO BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +4m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.64)  

Good pace with King Czar, Rose Aye and Turn Left prominent. ROSE AYE (4) was a most impressive debut winner at Nowra back in February and has since followed it up with two narrow defeats. Suspect her head defeat to Spicy Lu is strong form. Hitting her straps now and is drawn to advantage. Leading player. COSMIC COCO (1) is yet to strike through this campaign but has been knocking on the door. Drops back in trip with a month between runs and doesn't have to improve much to get the verdict. DUE CALZINI (3) got too far back when resuming at Goulburn but did make some late inroads. Will appreciate the added trip and strips fitter. Have to consider. DUPLI KATE (2) made light work of her rivals last start at Gundagai. Tougher this time but has McDougall sticking. Right in the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rose Aye to win.
