Race comment
OVERVIEW: With Enchanted Stride (who had an enormous winning chance) now scratched from tonight’s Group 3 feature for fillies and mares, this becomes the evening’s second ‘match race’ in the making. So far star 3YO fillies PETILLANTE (4) and JUST HOPE (6) have locked horns four times with the former filly boasting a 3 to 1 advantage. Truth be told, however, that’s far from the most meaningful consideration when assessing this event. Here’s what matter more. PETILLANTE (4) despite going through the motions and still winning this prep, finally showed she’d getting back to her best when winning last weekend. She’s also the near-certain leader based on Nathan Jack’s BQ (again, check socials) admission that JUST HOPE (6) won’t race her at the start. On face value this suggests PETILLANTE (4) is all but over the line. The fact is, however, JUST HOPE (6), despite being at her absolute best over the short, still appeals as the better, faster filly and as a result she very narrowly gets the nod in what should be a stirring contest up the lane. The clear third pick is ART OF SHENG LI (5) who couldn’t possibly be racing better with RUBY WINGATE (3) an almost equally obvious fourth selection. EARLY SPEED: 4,6 + 2 + 3?,5? RATINGS: 6/ 4/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 2

Race comment
OVERVIEW: With Enchanted Stride (who had an enormous winning chance) now scratched from tonight’s Group 3 feature for fillies and mares, this becomes the evening’s second ‘match race’ in the making. So far star 3YO fillies PETILLANTE (4) and JUST HOPE (6) have locked horns four times with the former filly boasting a 3 to 1 advantage. Truth be told, however, that’s far from the most meaningful consideration when assessing this event. Here’s what matter more. PETILLANTE (4) despite going through the motions and still winning this prep, finally showed she’d getting back to her best when winning last weekend. She’s also the near-certain leader based on Nathan Jack’s BQ (again, check socials) admission that JUST HOPE (6) won’t race her at the start. On face value this suggests PETILLANTE (4) is all but over the line. The fact is, however, JUST HOPE (6), despite being at her absolute best over the short, still appeals as the better, faster filly and as a result she very narrowly gets the nod in what should be a stirring contest up the lane. The clear third pick is ART OF SHENG LI (5) who couldn’t possibly be racing better with RUBY WINGATE (3) an almost equally obvious fourth selection. EARLY SPEED: 4,6 + 2 + 3?,5?

So far star 3YO fillies PETILLANTE (4) and JUST HOPE (6) have locked horns four times with the former filly boasting a 3 to 1 advantage. Truth be told, however, that’s far from the most meaningful consideration when assessing this event. Here’s what matter more. PETILLANTE (4) despite going through the motions and still winning this prep, finally showed she’d getting back to her best when winning last weekend. She’s also the near-certain leader based on Nathan Jack’s BQ (again, check socials) admission that JUST HOPE (6) won’t race her at the start. On face value this suggests PETILLANTE (4) is all but over the line. The fact is, however, JUST HOPE (6), despite being at her absolute best over the short, still appeals as the better, faster filly and as a result she very narrowly gets the nod in what should be a stirring contest up the lane. The clear third pick is ART OF SHENG LI (5) who couldn’t possibly be racing better with RUBY WINGATE (3) an almost equally obvious fourth selection. EARLY SPEED: 4,6 + 2 + 3?,5? RATINGS: 6/ 4/ 5/ 3/ 1/ 2
