RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LADY IN THE SKY (10) capable mare that is never far away and looks suited here despite the challenging draw. One of the main chances. SAM NIEN (4) back to his best last start for an easy win. Up in class here but draws favourably and can fight out the finish again.  CARLA PIXIE (8) talented 3yo filly that was runner up last start. Drawn to get a soft trip and if the breaks come her way she will be flying home late. SOVEREIGN TIGER (9) wasn’t far away last start and might be finding some good form and is amongst the chances. DISTANT SUN (6) going better than his figure form reads and is not out of this and must be respected. Both RIGHT OF REPLY (2) and CLAUDYS HERO (3) have ability and can figure. SPIRITED LASS (11) big win last start after doing things wrong and though rising in class must be considered. ROYAL CHARLOTTE (7) MONTANA CHEVELLE (1) and SHAQ THE ANVIL (5) are place and first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,3,4 RATINGS: 10/ 4/ 8/ 9/ 6/ 2/ 3/ 11/ 7/ 5/ 1
