GOING:

KINGSTEAD LODGE LADYSHIP PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

Kiwi mare TOKYO ROSE (9) makes her Australian debut and while she cops a wide draw she has the powerhouse combination of Jason Grimson and Cameron Hart behind her. Hasn't raced for a month but expect she will be wound up and ready to go. ISLA ROCHELLE (5) drew wider and worked when racing parked but stuck on okay for a midfield finish last week. Won two in a row at this circuit and distance prior so with the aid of a lower draw could return to winning form. IDEAL IN DREAMS (8) made a successful return to the city last time, winning a higher-graded race over this distance by 1.8m. Draws wider but could go on with it. WHILEMENA RITA (10) may need some luck from the outside barrier but is going well including a win here two back. GOODTIME LIBBY (6) draws wider than when placed last start but had enough gate speed to lead from deeper than this for a win at this circuit and distance prior.
