GOING: G(4)

BISLEY WORKWEAR MILLIE FOX STAKES 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Strong tempo assured with Makarena and Watch My Girl leading the way over Scarlet Oak. MAKARENA (1) proven Group winning mare with excellent stats over this track and trip. Looked to have plenty in the tank when a soft 1050m trial winner here on February 13. Comes to hand quickly and should prove too sharp for these. FIRESTORM (4) excellent first-up mare undefeated at this track. Has looked strong through the line in both trials and can finish over the top of these if they over do it up front. SCARLET OAK (3) failed to come up last prep when a poor last in the G3 Bill Ritchie over 1400m at Randwick last September 21. Two trials have been okay and look for her late. HINGED (2) durable mare resuming after scoring a well deserved win in the G2 Matriarch over 2000m at Flemington last November. Not asked to do much in two trials and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Makarena to win.
