RACE FIVE
BETTORTHANSPECIAL (12) is the best mare in the field, however will need to overcome one of the worst draws if she is to take this. Her past 3 starts have been in ope company where she has been far from disgraced with a 3m 3rd to AVONNOVA and last week was attacking the line in the latter stages when 5m away. Her class can see her through.
OUR MILLWOOD MAIZIE (1) finished within a half-head of the all the way winner LIKEALLOFUS over the 2138m here 4 starts back and at her 3 runs since has started from gate 5 and gate 7 twice, which does not suit her pattern. Settling in the trail here she will be swooping late and back to mares only company is a big plus.
EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3, 4, 5, 6
SELECTIONS: BETTORTHANSPECIAL (12), OUR MILLWOOD MAIZIE (1), VILLAGE WITCH (2), SMOOTH SHOWGIRL (8)
