RACE COMMENT
NAROBI (8) was a handy winner first up here in Australia when she defeated OZZIE JOYBELL by 1.1 metres. She will need some luck from the inside of the second row but she will be hard to beat if she gets some luck from the draw.AMYS BABY ANGEL (1), CYCLONE BRENDA (2) and EMRITES (6) are also chances.
