---|---|---|---|---|
Tropical Squall to take charge ahead of Makarena at a solid tempo. SEMANA (4) finds her race today second up and expected to go close. Solid return when fourth over 1400m in the G1 Winx Stakes at Randwick on August 24. Conditions suit and due for a change of luck. AMELIA'S JEWEL (2) first run back for the new stable she attacked the line late when a gritty second over 1400m in the G2 Tramway Stakes at Randwick on September 7. Goes just as well second up and strips much fitter for this back to her own sex. Solid top three contender. TROPICAL SQUALL (1) speared across from the wide gate on resumption before tiring badly in the straight when a poor 10th over 1400m in the G1 Winx Stks at Randwick on August 24. This looks much easier and will get an easier lead today. Fitted with a recent 1000m trial and must be kept safe. ARCTIC GLAMOUR (7) has fitness on her side third up but is likely to drift back from the good gate. Finished off okay when seventh over 1400m in the G2 Tramway Stakes at Randwick on September 7. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Semana to win.
