RACE NINE
GOLDEN LACE (1) tackled the Western Star at Marburg last start where from gate 2 she was soon back in the running line and with WODLEA DIEGO controlling proceedings in front, never got into the contest. Runner-up her previous two in succession, she has the options from this alley to capitalise.
THE MAHARANI (2) made the most of conditions last start when firing off the arm at Marburg to lead and keeping the tempo on throughout, pulled clear to claim an 8m margin and equal the mares track record. Runner-up in both starts prior at headquarters, she can throw down the challenge.
MELTON INSULTED (4) grabbed the bronze behind THE MAHARANI at Marburg and franked the form of that contest with victory here last time out. Gate 4 is tricky, but she is up to the task.
POLKA DOT DANCE (7) found the line nicely from deep in the pack last start. With an economical trip in behind the action and with the right tempo can be looking for the gaps to make a closing play.
SELECTIONS: GOLDEN LACE (1), THE MAHARANI (2), MELTON INSULTED (4), POLKA DOT DANCE (7)
