Race comment

The second heat of the Sweepstakes for the fillies brings together a competitive field, headed by ESTELLA HERGE (3), who makes her Tasmanian debut after winning at Riverina last start. She brings strong form to the state, including a fourth placing in the Nutrien Sires Final, and looks more than capable of measuring up from the favourable draw. ELLMARINA (1) was narrowly beaten in a recent trial, where the field sprinted home in a slick final half, and she should take improvement from that effort. From the pole draw, she looks set to receive every opportunity. SHEEZSOTINY (2) has shown ability and good gate speed at the trials but is still learning her racecraft and will need to be at her best against this stronger opposition. STOLEN ONE (5) was the clear eye-catcher in the opening heat two weeks ago after being badly held up before charging home with an outstanding final half. From the awkward draw, she is likely to be driven quietly again and should be finishing strongly. MISS VINCENTINA (6) sat outside the leader in that same heat and fought on gamely into third, showing good improvement, and cannot be overlooked. IDEN JUST BECAUSE (4) and VINJETTA (7) also contested the first heat, both showing glimpses of speed and ability, and further improvement would see them capable of figuring in the finish.Selections: ESTELLA HERGE (3), STOLEN ONE (5), ELLMARINA (1), SHEEZSOTINY (2) Staking Strategy: ESTELLA HERGE brings some handy mainland form into this race and looked forward enough in a trial on Monday to give this a shake. 2 unit win – ESTELLA HERGE (3).
