RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LILLY LOTUS (6) gets no favours with the draw, but she is very well graded with her mare’s allowance. She displayed nice ability last year in her 3yo season, and since resuming she’s been well up in grade and performing very well. The way she found the line last Saturday was strong and without much room. She can bounce back to winning form. IM WESLEY (4) has been in good form, as evidenced last start when a narrow but strong winner, and his prior placings have all been in good time. He has speed but even if he doesn’t find the top should get decent cover. PEARL OF PHILTRA (1) gives away experience and class, but when she’s been in winning form, she’s looked smart. She should map well from the draw and should get her chance late. CEE CEE LOU (7) looks well placed after two forgive runs in Sydney, and her form prior in better grade at Melton was sound also. She’ll need luck but must be considered.
