CHRISTMAS IN JULY, BOOK NOW MS PACE 2536m

Track: GOOD      

AARDIEBYTHESEASIDE (1) was successful at her most recent outing by 2 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2130m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can make it consecutive wins. PENNY BLACK (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2 metres from the winner in second over 2100m at Bunbury. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LUSAKA (8) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this lineup, so he just needs a bit of luck to go his way. ARMA XFACTOR (7) cops a tough draw but is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 2130m at this track.
