GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Australasian Oaks 2000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.45)  

Strong tempo with Savitri, Freedom Flame and Paltrow Miss leading the way. GETTA GOOD FEELING (2) has been dynamic in her wins this prep and looks set to be even better stretching to 2000m. A jump-out keeps her ticking over and she’s the one they have to beat. MATING CALL (5) was given an absolute peach to take out the G3 Auraria Stakes last start and J Melham takes over here. From the middle draw she should blend into it at exactly the right time. SALTY PEARL (3) dominated over the mile at Flemington two back before a brave fourth in the G1 Vinery at Rosehill. She has to be taken seriously. PANOVA (4) was strong through the line two back in the G2 Phar Lap but was left with far too much to do in the Vinery. McDonald jumps aboard and despite the awkward gate you’d expect her to be closer when turning. STRICTLY BUSINESS (1), the G1 Oaks winner, is going better than the formguide suggests and cannot be forgotten. KAZARU (11) was strong late in the Auraria and gets Neindorf now. She’s a must for wider exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Getta Good Feeling has to go on top. Each-way saver Kazaru.
