Race comment
OVERVIEW: Handicaps are death these days but with such a limited field engaged in tonight’s Lightfoot Laurels, the two class runners with start position burdens – ADELLE (7) and VACATION HILL (8) - should fight things out. Such is their class edge here that both mares are capable of striking a blow at Inter Dominion level later in the year. But who wins? She’s fresh up from a break but VACATION HILL (8) is all class and in a recent rial here she made up 20m in a 57.2-sec final half to win with ease. She also begins much more safely than ADELLE (7) and may bridge the 10m margin separating them from the strands withing 100m. All of this is no knock on ADELLE (7). On her day she is utterly elite and the form from her last start success over Maori Law and Nephew Of Sonoko carries platinum value right now. In fairness to her, ADELLE (7) stepped safely for the first time in some time at her last crack from the tapes so she may keep her margin and potentially wins if she does though VACATION HILL (8) still rates clear and deserves to be favourite tonight. If there’s to be a mini-upset it should come from the flying QUEENS INVASION (2) though most of these, including SULTAN SASS (5) can also prove dangerous if the breaks all go their way.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Handicaps are death these days but with such a limited field engaged in tonight’s Lightfoot Laurels, the two class runners with start position burdens – ADELLE (7) and VACATION HILL (8) - should fight things out. Such is their class edge here that both mares are capable of striking a blow at Inter Dominion level later in the year. But who wins? She’s fresh up from a break but VACATION HILL (8) is all class and in a recent rial here she made up 20m in a 57.2-sec final half to win with ease. She also begins much more safely than ADELLE (7) and may bridge the 10m margin separating them from the strands withing 100m. All of this is no knock on ADELLE (7). On her day she is utterly elite and the form from her last start success over Maori Law and Nephew Of Sonoko carries platinum value right now. In fairness to her, ADELLE (7) stepped safely for the first time in some time at her last crack from the tapes so she may keep her margin and potentially wins if she does though VACATION HILL (8) still rates clear and deserves to be favourite tonight. If there’s to be a mini-upset it should come from the flying QUEENS INVASION (2) though most of these, including SULTAN SASS (5) can also prove dangerous if the breaks all go their way.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Handicaps are death these days but with such a limited field engaged in tonight’s Lightfoot Laurels, the two class runners with start position burdens – ADELLE (7) and VACATION HILL (8) - should fight things out. Such is their class edge here that both mares are capable of striking a blow at Inter Dominion level later in the year. But who wins? She’s fresh up from a break but VACATION HILL (8) is all class and in a recent rial here she made up 20m in a 57.2-sec final half to win with ease. She also begins much more safely than ADELLE (7) and may bridge the 10m margin separating them from the strands withing 100m. All of this is no knock on ADELLE (7). On her day she is utterly elite and the form from her last start success over Maori Law and Nephew Of Sonoko carries platinum value right now. In fairness to her, ADELLE (7) stepped safely for the first time in some time at her last crack from the tapes so she may keep her margin and potentially wins if she does though VACATION HILL (8) still rates clear and deserves to be favourite tonight. If there’s to be a mini-upset it should come from the flying QUEENS INVASION (2) though most of these, including SULTAN SASS (5) can also prove dangerous if the breaks all go their way.
