The Hound Says:Still learning but she is armed with slashing pace soon after box rise and she recently carved out a sizzling 24.72 when scoring here. Looks her race.
The Hound Says:Handily placed at The Gardens three runs back and she will appreciate the drop in class today. Has the speed to find the rail, hard to hold out.
MALDOTTI (6) has returned to racing in fine style of late and her past two wins here have been electric. The draw is a slight concern but she should light them up soon after box rise. STYLE SENSATION (7) was ultra impressive at The Gardens last time and she will get a nice cart across. MOON SHINE (4) may be the value runner.
SWIFT CHOICE (5) hasn't won for a little while but he will find this easier than his most recent racing and he is armed with slick early speed. ADELMO BALE (7) is another who will appreciate the drop in class and he is a powerful type when at his absolute best. HARPER'S BOY (8) resumes from a spell and he likes this draw.
HAYMAN BEACH (7) was far from disgraced when placed here two runs back and he should find this a tad easier. He is normally very reliable at box rise and he can break up the field through the bend. BIG DEL (6) owns a handy 19.36 PB here and he should test the seven for most of the journey, while CATCH THE TIGER (1) should get the gun run throughout
DISCO BALL BABE (8) has been placed in four of seven over this journey and she will appreciate the drop in class. The bend start is a slight concern but she has a good record from this draw. BELLIE'S BABE (6) is a reliable beginner and she will test the pink for most of the trip, while IRINKA GEORGE (2) is showing some promise.
KATH BELL (4) has been racing well in stronger company of late and she is far better than her form indicates. Has good pace once balanced and she should be able to find the rail early on. LIGHT MY FIRE (2) has a good record here to date and she will turn up the heat in the middle stages, while FERNANDO ON TAP (1) is better than her past few runs.
JUST A PHASE (7) can be a tad hard to follow at times but he is fitted with a V12 engine and he is racing with tremendous confidence. Exited wide draws in his two Dubbo wins of late, will get his chance again. MISSION TO FLY (5) has strong Temora form and she can atone for her two luckless runs here, while CLEO'S A CHANCE (1) just needs room early
TWISTED GOANNA (4) returned to form with a strong 19.54 win here and he looks very well graded again. He is armed with brilliant pace once balanced and he can assume control soon after box rise. IRISH MISS (2) has been smartly placed in her past three and she will keep the pressure on throughout. CHARLI'S BEGONIA (1) is drawn to get the breaks.
CHICKS A THIEF (4) has raced extremely well here to date and she was a strong 19.41 winner here two runs back. Tough draw but she has a good turn of foot and she can break up the field before the bend. SECRET DOOR (2) has had little luck in her two runs here and she is expected to make amends, while BEL TOR EXPRESS (1) has the good draw.
TRALEE HOPE (7) has been in the money in her four runs to date and she was far from disgraced in her first look here last week. Better for the run, this is easier, hard to hold out. SMOOTH JESS (3) continues to improve with each run and she is armed with good early burn, so she is a good anchor for second and third in your exotic bets.
IBROX BLUEBIRD (7) has raced well in stronger company to date and she will be better for the run here last time. Rise in distance suits and she should have the pace to cross and lead. HARD STYLE REBEL (1) blew away his rivals when scoring here over 431m last time and the rise in distance will suit, while FARMOR TWO BEE'S (2) can cause an upset
BOOM BOOM (5) would prefer a rails draw but he is racing with great confidence and he should get a nice cart across in the early stages. Top record here and he should get every chance to score. BRAVE CHOICE (6) should be able to follow the five across early and he will be strong late, while DARCY ROAD (1) just needs room to muster early on.
The draw isn't ideal, however with slow beginners on either side, WINTER TRALEE (5) should be able to assume control quickly and she is very hard to get past when on the arm. HARD HEAD RED (8) would prefer a rails draw but he owns a slick 24.89 PB here and he will keep the pressure on throughout. ONCE OR TWICE (1) can run a cheeky race.
