GOING: G(4)

NZB AIRFREIGHT STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD4     True  

Plenty of pressure with Turnontheglam, Lilly and Donna Chiara leading the charge. DREAM OF THE MOON (1) both her wins have come right here. Totally inexplicable flop last time. It was a total head scratcher. Go again in this. CONNELLO (2) she is a multiple class dropper in this field. Carpark barrier here but a quinella and trifecta must still. DONNA CHIARA (7) has not gone a bad race this time in. Drawn the carpark but she can cope. Her best is easily up to this line-up. Each-way all day in this. MILLE GRAZIE (10) has gone good runs in both of her starts to date. Drawn very wide in this capacity field. She cannot be omitted from anywhere here. LILLY (5) is a course-proven runner. Trifecta and first four chance in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dream Of The Moon and Donna Chiara are win wagers.
