GOING: G

WASBA BREEDERS STAKES (G3) MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

AARDIEBYTHESEASIDE (5) is classy when right and while yet to win this time in she has placed in each of her three starts. Will be hitting peak fitness now so could break through in an open affair. LITTLE DARLING (11) lines up for the hat-trick after coming from wide barriers to win her last two outings here including the Empress Stakes. If things go her way from the back row she can land the hat trick. WONDERFUL TO FLY (1) drew wide and was held up in the Fremantle Cup last start. Much better placed against the girls and has claims off her Empress Stakes placing two back and a win from this barrier last month. PENNY BLACK (2) had a tough draw last time but the previous form was good. Can bounce back from this much more favourable draw.
