RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE ART OF SUCCEESS (2) is a winning machine with victory in all of her last six starts, and it’s very hard to tip against her here. She’s expected to glide to the front and prove awfully hard to run down, with her last win being in a slick 54.4 last half. LE BELLE BIJOUX (1) finally found the right race at Melton last Friday and won in really good style. She is a logical danger from the barrier one draw. HOORAH PHILTRA (8) is airborne for Ashleigh Herbertson and ran really well for second when charging late in stronger grade than this behind Some American last weekend, while DAY TWO (3), ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (6) and the first-up TWISTING BY (7) all wouldn’t shock, but the draws and likely race shape make things difficult.
