|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Kimberley Secrets, Petticoat and Beside The Ocean to match motors but there will be other pressure. PETTICOAT (5) big jump in grade off the let-up when a fading fifth over this trip at Randwick. Strips fitter and has the speed to cruise across from the draw. Genuine top-three chance. KIMBERLEY SECRETS (3) tough mare who retains her zest for racing. Races best with her runs spaced and looks suited around the tight Wyong track despite drawing out. Respect. BESIDE THE OCEAN (11) returned for her second campaign with a gritty nose victory over 1000m at Randwick in BM64 class. Has further improvement to come and stays in the mix. HEAT MISSILE (9) lightly raced mare resuming with the two trials. Raced in stakes grade last prep and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,3,11.
