RACE EIGHT
This is an even line-up of mares where a case could be made nearly every runner. Leaning to TUAPEKA LIGHT (8) who although unable to make ground along the inside last start, might just appreciate the step up to the middle-distance here. A passing lane 4th when only beaten a neck away 2 starts back, if the tempo is right, she can arrive.
SAINT KILDA BEACH (2) should benefit from an improved gate and added fitness after 2 runs back from a break. Eased from gate 6 here 2 starts back, her closing splits were sound behind JERADAS DELIGHT and then last week she was hamstrung by gate 7. With early hustle, she can put herself in a position to challenge.
JERADAS DELIGHT (4) was content to do it the tough way last time out when facing the breeze over this trip and lasting for the prize as 4 of them hit the line together. In top form here in Qld, she will be in the thick of it again.
WITH THE BAND (5) has been in the money at her past 5 in succession, the latest when best of the chasers behind FEEL LIKE DANCIN after being locked away from inside the 2nd line. Pressing on here she will make her presence felt.
SELECTIONS: TUAPEKA LIGHT (8), SAINT KILDA BEACH (2), JERADAS DELIGHT (4), WITH THE BAND (5)
