GOING: G(4)

AC Accounting Country Oaks 2000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.74)  

Enchanted Elle should be able to comfortably find the front. SUNTORA (3) goes on top. She knocked off a pair of 2000m races around Caulfield in fine style and then really caught the eye with a big run behind Treasurethe Moment in the G2 Sunline Stakes last time when back to a mile. That's outstanding form and back up in trip will only suit better. STRICTLY BUSINESS (4) is the VRC Oaks winner who resumed over a mile in the G3 Alexandra Stakes. She got a pass mark there when just warming up very late nearer the inside. She should be improving quickly up in trip. TOO DARN DISCREET (2) had been building nicely until last start in the Sunline Stakes when struggling to make an impact. Fancy 2000m suits much better now and her best is good enough. JENNILALA (1) has been going okay without winning and could give a sight up on speed. LADY THINKABELL (9) is racing well and has minor claims through easier races. SUGGESTED PLAY: Suntora to win.
