GOING: G

bet365 Country Oaks 2100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Just Glamourous should be able to comfortably find the front. SMOKIN' PRINCESS (1) steps up to 2100m here having been kept to a mile in recent times, racing in fine form. That said, she's certainly capable and proven of running this sort of trip, and was excellent last week in the Golden Mile at Bendigo. ALMA RISE (4) has just been fair in two runs back from a spell, a bit disappointing as a $1.90 favourite at Ballarat last time. On her day she's quite good, the win during Cup week at Flemington especially strong. BASILINNA (2) was a narrow winner fresh at Moonee Valley, struggling last time at Caulfield in the G3 Easter Cup. This suits. JUST GLAMOUROUS (8) is a very well bred type who looks ready to handle a rise in trip. She'll roll along and give a bold sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smokin' Princess on top.
