AVE TECHNOLOGIES HRNSW GUARANTEED LADYSHIP PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 18)    

POPSTAROMAR (3) scored at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered when ninth at her latest appearance over 2030m here beaten 30 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. FLARE UP (7) finished second at this course two runs ago before a less impressive effort at her latest appearance over 2030m at this circuit, beaten 35 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw but is beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. EYE CAN TRY (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this venue over 2030m. Top-three credentials. MY LADY SARAH (2) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on April 25. Can return to form from the low draw.
