RACE EIGHT
After starting inside the 2nd line last time out, INNOCENT CROCKER (5) was soon in peak-hour gridlock and hoping for a miracle. Said miracle did not eventuate, however she was closing out nicely to get within 4m of the winner, CHERRYS THE BEST. From the mid-line with the small field, she will get her chance to charge home to take this.
CHERRYS THE BEST (3) was obliged to cut the breeze in the early stages as the field worked into position through a sharp, sub 27 opening panel. Closing in nice style the start prior when 8m in arrears of the winner ETERNAL PROMISE, she might need to do the heavy lifting here, but is in the fight.
MACEY JAYDE (4) can make errors early and finds herself in the middle of the line here after earning the return to the main draw last start. Leading from 7 in that event, if she can get away safely, she will give them a target to gun down out in front.
ETERNAL PROMISE (7) is in super order with 5 wins in her past 6 outings, the latest when scoring in a similar mares event over the mile. Able to lead them up on that occasion, she will need to chase here but cannot be ignored.
SELECTIONS: INNOCENT CROCKER (5), CHERRYS THE BEST (3), MACEY JAYDE (4), ETERNAL PROMISE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: INNOCENT CROCKER (5) to win
