RACE NINE
NEWPORT DREAMZ (9) started from gate 11 last start over the 2138m trip and was closing out strongly to get within a head of the winner. That followed a strong win at the mile when resuming from a spell and returning to the mile here can follow through early and look to finish over the top.
JUST DEAL IT (3) was sent forward from the 2nd line last start and working to the breeze proved too strong in scoring in good style. Her run 2 starts back was a tidy effort against some handy opponents and with 2 wins from just 4 starts, she will be in for the fight here.
ULTIMATE RISK (1) resumes from a spell after taking on a strong mares qualifier at her last start. Fading out badly in that contest, it had followed an all the way win over the mile. With the options from the gate she can find the podium.
ELMAUR JOY (8) looked to take them all the way last start over the mile when finding the front and took every bit of the stretch for her to be run down. With a cosy trip she can chime into the exotics.
