GOING: G(4)

IKON TRAMWAY STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.11).  

Phearson is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. FREEDOM RALLY (10) talented Queensland galloper well placed here with residual fitness on his side. Returned good figures when winning over 1600m in the LR Wayne Wilson Mile at Eagle Farm on August 27. Sharpened with a slick recent trial win and looks set for a good prep. ARCTIC GLAMOUR (14) surged late on resumption for a nose second over 1200m in the G2 Missile Stakes here on August 10. Sits on the limit weight and has genuine top-three claims. Group 1 winner AMELIA'S JEWEL (8) resumes for the new stable after disappointing when 12th in the G1 The Goodwood over 1200m at Morphettville on May 11. Fitted with two solid trials and the blinkers come off. Looks under the odds at her current quote. Group 2 winner DEMOCRACY MANIFEST (3) was beaten for early speed first-up before returning slick sectional splits late when fourth over 1200m here on August 24. Will get back again and worth noting three of his nine wins have come second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Freedom Rally to win.
