TAB LADYSHIP PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

Last season's Breeders Crown winner KISS (9) has been racing well at Melton, placing in all three starts since a fresh win. Makes her first visit to Sydney but will appreciate the mile having scored a win and a placing in her two attempts. Draws widest but has the class to overcome that. THE ANSWER (2) led from wider last week to score her second win in three starts at this circuit since joining Michael Stanley. Up in grade but strikes at 50 per cent at this distance and has the speed to take advantage of a low draw. MISSAUDACIOUS (7) comes off a second at Listed level behind Sahara Breeze, a rival Kiss has also placed behind a couple of times of late. Won two of her previous three starts here. Respect. BELLA DANZA (6) draws lower than in her last-start fourth and won here prior. Contender. ZENXENA (3) can be competitive again after placing in her last four starts here, the latest from a much wider barrier.
