RACE COMMENT
CLASSIC ELEGANCE (6) registered her first win in Australia when she led from a similar draw before scoring by 5.4m at this circuit on Monday, taking her strike rate at the mile to 50 per cent. Up in grade but that was her first outing for close to two months so she has scope for improvement. HES A MEISTER (4) was far from disgraced when midfield form the outside barrier last time. Much better served by this draw and had recorded two wins and a second the previous three times he raced at this circuit and distance. ALTA SIERRA (11) scored for the second time in just three starts since a spell when he worked forward to find the front and went on to score by 1.5m over this distance here last time. Cops a wide barrier but he is going well. PRINCESS MICKAYLA (2) comes through the Regional Championships at Newcastle where she won a heat before drawing on the back row in the final. Won from wider at this circuit and distance four back. Draws to be competitive.
