TRACK:     SOFT  5 (5.03)

BEST BETS:

RACE 3                        NO.1    NAUTIBERNIE

NAUTIBERNIE is building towards a win with three placings on the trot the latest behind Monsieur Sisu who was able to win yesterday at Canterbury in a far superior race to this. From a nice barrier here she should settle just behind a few who on paper look to run along and be ready to pounce at the turn. She looks a nice filly going places and I hope the maiden is out of the way after today.

RACE 5                        NO.11  VOODOO LADY

VOODOO LADY is knocking on the door of breaking her maiden with three placings from her four career starts. Her last start third at Canterbury was very good on a heavy track against a few handy types including the winner who went onto win a Saturday highway race. The inside draw here and a better surface should aid her chances. Blake Shinn takes over and looking at the map she should settle in the box seat and play a major role.

RACE 8                        NO.8    STAGGERING

STAGGERING has been racing in super heart of late which has included two solid efforts in the city. Two runs back her effort behind Sweet Victory was good after sitting on-pace and her latest when fifth behind Jolly Honour again showed her heart. Back to this grade and coming back a furlong to 1800m I think are two big pluses.
