BARNESWOOD FARM STAKES 1400m Track: GOOD 4 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pressure with El Vaquero, Origin Of Love and Cool Aza Rene leading the charge. MISS STARLIGHT (5) remained unbeaten in 3 starts when stepping up in class and beating a few of her rivals here by nearly 2 lengths in the List Canterbury Belle Stakes at Riccarton 4 weeks ago. An extra furlong won't bother her, and she can win again. COOL AZA RENE (6) was well beaten behind the top pick last time out, and has been back to the trials since then. She is too good to drop just yet. BELLE DU MONDE (7) was a narrow but game winner fresh up at Riccarton, which made her favourite at her next start against the top pick. She raced flat that day, and may have already been looking for more ground. She can bounce back immediately in this. ALOTTAGO (1) has posted a couple of narrow wins to start this prep, and even though he is facing another class rise here, he can be ruled out of completing a hat-trick. EL VAQUERO (2) had no answer to the fourth pick last time out after setting the pace. Stick with him. MISS ZIGGY (8) was a deserved maiden winner last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Starlight can remain unbeaten here.
