RACE TWO
OLD ENGLISH (1) started from inside the 2nd line last start when striking some trouble in a midfield finish. Finding similar issues the start prior when down the line as DATALDO claimed a dominant win, he will appreciate a big improvement in starting barriers and gets his chance for a Qld breakthrough.
MAGICAL MAYA (3) resumes from a spell without the benefit of a public trial. Last campaign in just two starts, she was runner-up on debut to subsequent G1 winner TIMS A TROOPER and followed that with a win here from gate 9 in smart fashion. If forward enough in condition, she can challenge.
MOONLITE DIVA (9) returns from a break after starting her career in perfect order with a win on debut here back in October. The gate makes it tricky, but she stays under notice.
AUNTY FRANCES (5) is afforded no favours from this alley but should find this grade more suitable after her last start when just 4m from REGAL NIGHTSHADE. Placed her previous 2, she is in the mix.
SELECTIONS: OLD ENGLISH (1), MAGICAL MAYA (3), MOONLITE DIVA (9), AUNTY FRANCES (5)
SUGGESTED BET: OLD ENGLISH (1) to win
