GO GIRLFRIEND HEAT 1720m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
ELEGANT STRIDE (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling when 6 metres from the winner in fifth at Menangle last Saturday. Came from a wider barrier than this to place here prior and recorded back-to-back wins here last month. This suits. WHERE BACK (8) has been racing at Menangle of late but the last time she started outside of the city she was a winner at Goulburn so will enjoy the class drop. EYEKNOW (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth after working from a wider barrier last time out, adding to a series of solid efforts at this venue. BETTINE (7) draws for a trail and has a consistent record here.
