RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PREFERRED LOVE (4) began quickly to find the lead, ran along at a reasonable tempo and was run down on the line at her latest attempt. She has been placed at her past four starts and deserves to break through for a win. IM LADY RHONDA (2) is resuming since a third behind Mitchell Wrap in May and hasn’t been to the trials but she is a speedy mare and boasts a good record so she is worth an investment. PERFIDIOUS SUE (6) worked out of the gate, gained cover then came out three horses wide from the 600m when fifth behind Royal Charlotte last outing. She is a tough mare and appears to be well graded in this event. KYVALLEY ANTHONY (1) and MAJESTIC TOOTH (3) are both capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,3,4,6 RATINGS: 4/ 2,6/ 1,3/ 7,10/ 9
