GOING: G

IRT IAN DAFF MEMORIAL MARES PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

SWEET IDEAL (9) was in the money when fresh from a spell two starts back before making up plenty of ground to score with ease at her latest appearance over 1720m at this track, getting the verdict by 8 metres. Finds a tougher race, but another win is not out of the question. GOLDEN SHOOZ (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1720m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race, but she has the ability to test this field. DRAW A DREAM (11) is better than her last-start ninth over 1720m at this track. Include in all multiples. IDEN LADY LINCOLN (10) is open to further improvement at her third run back from a spell after scoring last time out over 2200m at Launceston. Watch closely.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when she broke in score up and was out of position at the start 8th (Fr7) over 1720m at this track, beaten 25 m by Emily Vincent (2:01.70) in NR 60 to 69 on May 23 at $18. Needs some luck.
