---|---|---|---|---|
They should roll along at a decent clip in a true test for the milers. LADYOFDISTINCTION (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider R A Venniker sticks and she is a leading contender. HODGEPODGE (10) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 1.1 lengths over 1600m at this track. Key runner. SAFARI LODGE (8) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 9 lengths over 1600m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. RADU (4) turned in a fine effort to win by a long neck at this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again.
