OVERVIEW: WILLOWS GIRL (7) heads to this assignment on the back of a brilliant victory in the Group 2 Gold Bracelet Final at Bathurst, and despite the tricky draw she goes on top. She looks to have come back as a handy three-year-old and while it won’t be easy from outside the front row, she might just have too much class for this field. The unbeaten IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) worked forward and won on Australian debut last week at Melton. If he can find the top here, he will be hard to beat. LOU WILL (4) took a trail on IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) last time and wasn’t far away in fourth, and chased home the in-form Cardigan Dan with the same trip before that. His chances rest in getting to the fence at the start. KIA ORA BEAUTY (9), BLACKJACK WHACKO (11) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (12) look best of the rest.

OVERVIEW: WILLOWS GIRL (7) heads to this assignment on the back of a brilliant victory in the Group 2 Gold Bracelet Final at Bathurst, and despite the tricky draw she goes on top. She looks to have come back as a handy three-year-old and while it won’t be easy from outside the front row, she might just have too much class for this field. The unbeaten IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) worked forward and won on Australian debut last week at Melton. If he can find the top here, he will be hard to beat. LOU WILL (4) took a trail on IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) last time and wasn’t far away in fourth, and chased home the in-form Cardigan Dan with the same trip before that. His chances rest in getting to the fence at the start. KIA ORA BEAUTY (9), BLACKJACK WHACKO (11) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (12) look best of the rest.

OVERVIEW: WILLOWS GIRL (7) heads to this assignment on the back of a brilliant victory in the Group 2 Gold Bracelet Final at Bathurst, and despite the tricky draw she goes on top. She looks to have come back as a handy three-year-old and while it won’t be easy from outside the front row, she might just have too much class for this field. The unbeaten IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) worked forward and won on Australian debut last week at Melton. If he can find the top here, he will be hard to beat. LOU WILL (4) took a trail on IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) last time and wasn’t far away in fourth, and chased home the in-form Cardigan Dan with the same trip before that. His chances rest in getting to the fence at the start. KIA ORA BEAUTY (9), BLACKJACK WHACKO (11) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (12) look best of the rest.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: WILLOWS GIRL (7) heads to this assignment on the back of a brilliant victory in the Group 2 Gold Bracelet Final at Bathurst, and despite the tricky draw she goes on top. She looks to have come back as a handy three-year-old and while it won’t be easy from outside the front row, she might just have too much class for this field. The unbeaten IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) worked forward and won on Australian debut last week at Melton. If he can find the top here, he will be hard to beat. LOU WILL (4) took a trail on IM DOWNBYTHEBEACH (6) last time and wasn’t far away in fourth, and chased home the in-form Cardigan Dan with the same trip before that. His chances rest in getting to the fence at the start. KIA ORA BEAUTY (9), BLACKJACK WHACKO (11) and IN AN IDEAL WORLD (12) look best of the rest.
