GOING: G

Ladbrokes Stocks Stakes 1514m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Grinzinger Belle should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. GRINZINGER BELLE (1) was outstanding first up winning the G2 Lets Elope Stakes at Flemington, leading at a solid clip and booting clear to win by 4 lengths. She was ridden a treat that day but gives herself every chance again and out to a mile second up here looks ideal. ALSEPHINA (5) was wide and worked home well for third in the Lets Elope. She'll be fitter for that and her 1600m form in Perth when second in a G1 Railway is good enough to win this. JENNILALA (7) was okay fresh at Caulfield. They went slowly and she was on speed. Look for a quicker tempo here which could suit. SECOND TO NUN (4) has claims off her second to Attrition fresh. FIRE OF ETNA (9) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grinzinger Belle to win.
