Moonglow Miss, Outbush and Artillery Fire to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. CELTIC ROSE (3) went close here over 1400m in a CL2 and then was outgraded at Quality level over 1200m in the Royal Rambo. Newitt sticks aboard and she draws for a soft run. Finds the right race and will be hard to beat. ARTILLERY FIRE (6) improved again beaten a long neck this track/trip. The 1.5kg claimer has an awkward gate to manage, but she will present at peak and will go close with average luck. BAD ALIBI (8) races forward and delivered a comfortable Maiden win with a 2.2L defeat against the above. Draws wide but has gate speed and the 2ikg claim is handy. Has claims if things work out. OLIVE GIRL (9) is fourth-up and still well shy of her best. Has a key gear switch and keep her onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Celtic Rose.
