RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MISS ARI (6) is a really nice mare from the Gary and Debbie Quinlan yard who hasn’t been seen at the races since finishing out the back as a $9 chance in the Group 1 NSW Oaks last May. She defeated some good rivals while winning a heat of the series before that and I absolutely loved her most recent trial when she came from last to be beaten just 3.7m by Luvtobeuptome. I think she can sprint over the top in the small field. DYNAMITEDAN (2) is a handy customer from the Emma Stewart barn who heads here after a disastrous Gold Chalice Consolation at Bathurst in March when he locked wheels and was retired, KEAYANG SWEETHEART (5) hasn’t done much wrong with three wins and three placings from six career starts, while STARZINHEREYES (3) might have the speed to find the front early, and while she has been running well of late, is probably not in the same class as some of her rivals here. BACK: MISS ARI (6) – 3 units (win)
