Plenty of pace evident with Sky Luke and Takamaki Three leading the way from La Mia Vita and Veronica Brain. SKY LUKE (2) finished fifth last time out over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should park just off the speed and can be in the finish. TAKAMAKI THREE (3) got well back over 1000m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing eighth. Finds a nice race and cannot be overlooked. HARU BOTAN (7) did her best work late to finish second at her latest appearance at this track over 1000m. Good signs last time and cannot be dismissed. PATRIE (8) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 11th at this track over 1000m. Strong contender on best form.
