|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Not much early pressure but Russian Alliance, Tashi and Konasana can take up forward spots. The $300,000 Group 2 Dane Ripper. FIRESTORM (4) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough to play a major role in a race like this. Tuned up for this with two recent trials and has won four of five when fresh. Is one from one over this distance range and a strong first-up showing would not surprise. Stablemate OLENTIA (3) is a bit of a hit or miss commodity but is certainly capable on her day. Maps well from gate three and is one from one around this circuit. Shapes as a leading contender. Former Victorian FLOOZIE (11) has gone bang bang bang since joining the new stable and it's hard to knock mares in form. Can continue the winning streak. TASHI (12) is yet to miss a quinella spot in three attempts over this trip and is usually about the money. A must for the multiples. Winx's little half-sister CITY OF LIGHTS (5) draws the inside marble and may make her presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Firestorm to return a winner.
