GOING: G(4)

LANDER TOYOTA LADIES DAY CUP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 39)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95)  

Slick pace with Baby Rider finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RAF ATTACK (10) was backed as though unbeatable in the Port Macquarie Cup last start but after leading for home he gave in rather meekly. Back sharply in trip which is in his favour. Drops 3kgs and can bounce back as his best figures measure right up in this field. Winx's little sister CITY OF LIGHTS (9) ran a nice race first-up in the Tibbie then started favourite in a Group 3 at Caulfield last start but disappointed. Better placed back home and the blinkers go on today. Expecting a much better run. ROBUSTO (5) got a long way back in the Five Diamonds Prelude at Randwick last start and failed to figure. Beaten less than two lengths by Cepheus in the Rowley Mile here in August which is a decent form reference. BERKSHIRE SHADOW (3) didn't appreciate being ridden in front last time out so forget the run. Good effort to finish midfield in the Epsom the run before - big chance with a repeat of that performance. RUSTIC STEEL (1) can improve at the third run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Raf Attack an each-way special in an open race.
