|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A stack of early pressure, primarily from Musical Affair and Xeiby.
KELILAH (10) was a deserved winner at Orange in her penultimate run and then ran third at the same venue after that. She is asked to carry 2 kilos less this time and in her current space, she should be right in the finish again. FLETCHLO (9) was back in form when coming from last to get up and score at Dubbo last start. He was favourite that day so the win was not unexpected despite his recent lack of form. He loves his home track and now that he is back in the groove, he can win again. PROUD IMAGE (6) has been racing well in 3 starts since her Nowra win near the end of February. A 3-kilo claim this time will help her and with the benefit of the pole position she has solid each-way claims again. MUSICAL AFFAIR (4) was not suited by the heavy track at Randwick last time out and the fence that day was not the place to be. Her form prior was first-class and she is not too badly treated at the weights in this. She is good enough to take them all the way this time. Don't drop her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Musical Affair each way.
