GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Australasian Oaks 2000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Fast tempo assured with Too Darn Lizzie, Cinch and Sweltering going toe-to-toe. POLYMNIA (9) continues to build a solid record and looks ready to peak after charging home for second in the G3 3 Adrian Knox over this trip at Randwick. Is still figuring it all out and could easily finish right over the top. BENAGIL (2) was excellent in the G1 Vinery Stud Stakes when placing over this trip and has been kept ticking over with a quiet trial since. Drawn well and looks primed to run a bold race. Main danger. MOVIN OUT (3) steps into Stakes company after a determined win over the mile at Mornington. He’s fit, in form, and maps well. Expect him to measure up. TOO DARN LIZZIE (1) has done everything but win this prep with three straight placings. She’s honest, consistent, and finds a suitable race to finally break through. Sure to give plenty of cheek. Key lead-up winner CINCH (4) also has to be taken seriously. Got the job done off a freshen, expect her to be sharper. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Polymnia to win.
