THE OAKS STUD 970m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Alpha One, Perfect Dividends and Catoca to match motors but there will be other pressure. BRAZEN AFFAIR (3) loves it here over this short trip, and she ran on late for third here 2 weeks ago after missing the kick. She has the pole position this time, and she only has to make an even beginning to be the one to beat in this. MISS MOET ALL (8) has found her best form again, and her only win has been on this surface. A wide gate is no help, but with some luck, she can take this out. LADY IRIS (4) has been mixing her form in far stronger fields than this, and she will be making her poly track debut here. A good gate and a 2kg claim should see her right in the finish this time. SCOLERA (5) won a trial prior to being a beaten favourite on debut at Te Rapa, peaking on her run late. She has a superior gate and can make amends. Follow your money. ANGELS BREW (6) won fresh up here 4 weeks ago, and she has the scope to measure up in this, especially with the aid of a 2kg claim. KARYON (7) has not been far away in 4 starts this prep, and another honest effort is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brazen Affair can take this out.
