GOING: G(4)

DARLEY FLIGHT STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.21).  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. SNOW IN MAY (2) exciting filly who won well two back, before jumping sharply in grade when an eye catching second after missing the jump over 1400m in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes at this track. Further improved now after returning slick sectional splits last start. Can go one better today. LAZZURA (3) improving with racing and should relish the 1600m and further. Closed off nicely when fourth over 1400m in the G2 Tea Rose Stakes. Failed to sprint with them on straightening and never shirked her task late. Each way. LADY SHENANDOAH (4) promising filly who launched late with a strong neck win on resumption over 1400m at Rosehill in the G3 Ming Dynasty on September 14. Has further improvement to come and sure to be thereabouts. HARLEM QUEEN (7) Newcastle trained filly chasing her third straight victory. Massive jump in grade today after winning over 1400m as fav at Kembla Grange on September 14. Can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snow In May to win.
