She's A Filly should find the front with Fast Like Thunder and Loose Knickers on her heels. FAST LIKE THUNDER (1) is knocking on the door for his first win, and his effort for second at Wingatui just over 2 weeks ago was full of merit after he hung out around the final turn due to a hock issue. That problem has since been resolved, and he will have few better chances than this to break through. LOOSE KNICKERS (2) has been trying to win a race for a long time, and was a battling third last start over 1600m at Wingatui. He has the pole position, so with a soft run early on, he can figure in the top 3 again. SHE'S A FILLY (7) was a late scratching when set to resume earlier in the month for a new trainer. She had some market support that day, and is worth following up in this. Keep her safe. MIDNIGHT OAK (10) has improved in each of her 3 well-spaced out runs to date, and she is nicely placed to give this a big shake fresh up. DANIELLISH (8) is running out of chances, but in this field, she is capable of a top 4 finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fast Like Thunder is the one to beat, and watch Midnight Oak as well.
