ASAHI SUPER DRY AUSTRALIAN OAKS 2400m Track: Good 4 Rain (Max: 23) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.21) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a solid pace primarily from Leica Lucy. Looks a race of tactics in this intriguing contest. TREASURETHE MOMENT (2) won the VRC Oaks in the Spring and has kept the winning run going since. Sat on the speed when defeating an average field in the G1 Vinery Stud Stakes over 2000m at Rosehill. Will appreciate this longer journey and prove hard to hold out. LEICA LUCY (1) makes her Australian debut after dominating the 3yo fillies' races in NZ. Pulled out plenty to make it five straight wins after saluting in the G1 New Zealand Oaks at Trentham. J Mac rides and can test the favourite. VERONA ROSE (4) up in grade and trip when closing off strongly to run fourth over 2000m in the G1 Vinery Stud Stakes. Looking for this trip and not to be underestimated. BELLE DETELLE (5) improving filly who takes on the A-graders now after winning the G3 Adrian Knox over 2000m here last Saturday. Place prospects look best. DUBAI GOLDRUSH (3) comes across from NZ in peak condition. Proven at the trip and sure to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Treasurethe Moment and Leica Lucy to fight it out.
