RACE COMMENT

KIA ORA LOU (6) arrived in QLD with very moderate WA form having run just one placing from 9 starts. She got a long way back and wasn’t suited in a race they ran a quick last 800. She should find this a lot easier stepping back to Redcliffe.  SWEET CHARMER (1) has poor numerical form from her race starts to date but did take on some nice enough horses early in her career. She trialled up quite well recently finishing a clear second to Toodalou who rated good time for a maiden running home a slick last half. EXIT STAGE LEFT (2) didn’t handle being wide on the track last time out at Marburg through the quickest part of the race when finishing seventh. She had performed well on debut despite making a break at a crucial stage of the race. With the option to head straight to the pegs in this race she could be an improver. RESPECT THE MIKI (3) led early and was able to get away with a very slow early tempo. She had every possible chance to win and was quite well beaten in the end by Along The Way. She needs to lift off that effort to be a chance of winning this race.
