RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ALWAYS A SHOWGIRL (3) has been racing in Super Series events and is likely to find this assignment to be easier. She recorded a mile rate of 1.57.2 when she scored at Melton in October and she didn’t have a great deal of luck when sixth in the Super Series Silver event last time out. IM BUTTER BLUE (2) set up a genuine tempo and was run down at the end when seventh in the Homegrown Classic last outing. She finished fourth in the Western Region Classic at Wagga when resuming and she should make her presence felt under these conditions. BELLA LOUISE (5) is a speedy mare and has the speed to figure in the finish. She was forced to do some work in the run after commencing from the inside of the second line at her latest attempt so she is worth thought. EVILEYE (4) is a speedy mare that could show up and IMAGINATION ORO (10) will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely early leader), 2,3,4 RATINGS: 3/ 2,5/ 4/ 10/ 7,9
