GOING: N

AGNES BANKS DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING PACE 2300m

Track: FAST      

RAKADEAKS (5) was back in the winners' stall last time, coming from a similar draw to get home by 2.8m. Steps up in distance but is building a handy record at this circuit and finds another suitable assignment. ALTA MAGACIAN (9) draws wide again but was good from this barrier last week, finishing only 3.8m off the winner. If things go his way he can measure up. SPIRIT OF ARION (8) found winning form here two back and was good when midfield against stronger opposition at Listed level last week. This suits better. LUVARESCHS (2) came from this barrier when fourth to Queensland Oaks favourite Captains Mistress in Brisbane two back. That form reads well for this. SCARLETT MAY (1) overcame a back row draw to find winning form last time. This is a step up but she draws the inside and has upside.
