RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WRITTEN IN SILK (4) has found a new zest for racing life and produced a career best performance to win last start by running her rivals off her feet in slick times. A mare in form and will take some catching again. IM WESLEY (10) excellent run last start and finished off strongly. Not out of this and can be a threat. MONTANA PRIDE (12) in great form having started a short price favourite and having won his past two starts and despite facing a challenging draw in this will be doing his best work late again. AUCKLAND RED (11) looked a strong winning chance last start but couldn’t run down the leader. Goes well again here. Both JILLIBY SELWOOD (9) and LUVERBOY (13) are going well and have place and first four claims. EARLY SPEED: 1,2,4 RATINGS: 4/ 10/ 12/ 11/ 9/ 13
