GOING: G

RACECOURSE HOTEL & MOTOR LODGE RATING 65 2200m

Track: AW     True  

The race pace looks okay at times in this two-turn event but there will be decent sections of the speed both easing and being controlled too. STAR IN THE SKY (7) gets a wide draw here but he has a winning rider atop. This is a very suitable race for the 4yo. Can take this out. SWAY UP (5) is a class dropper here. He has raced super so far this time in so cannot be omitted. On pacer. DARCI'S QUEEN (3) she is course proven. Well drawn too. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. MAYBE I'M DREAMING (6) is an improver on her fresh-up effort. Has won and placed when second up too. A 3kg claim helps as well. EXTREME POWER (8) is a class dropper. Not too bad here both two and three starts ago. Wide gate. A 3kg claim helps his cause. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star In The Sky is a win wager.
