Race 7
A 4yr old filly and a 5yr old mare could fight out the finish to this race and complete the exacta, but FORBIDDEN LOVE is taken to lead the field home. She is looking to complete her hat-trick after victories in a Group 2 event over seven furlongs and the latest in a Group 1 race over 1300M by 1.8L. She went from jump to wire that day, kicking clear of the opposition at the 300m mark which effectively put the race to bed at that point. From her handy draw two, the trio is very much on the cards.
Although COLETTE is recorded as finishing eighth last time out over a mile, she was just 2.7L behind the winner in a Group 1 contest. It should however be noted that she did not get a clear run the whole way down the home straight that day and was also reported to have been cut into on her off-hind. She is drawn one outside the top choice and has her peak run since returning from a 14 week break.
PRIVATE EYE has cracked pole position and was returning from a longer 17 week absence when ending up in third place last time out over 1300M in a Group 1 event over 1300M, 4.3L off the victor, despite coming four wide into the home straight. He did finish off his race well that day, suggesting that the extra ground on offer here will be to his liking and he should be included in all bets.
Race 8
The day’s best bet COOLANGATTA is a 2yr old filly taking on the boys, but she is unbeaten in all three of her runs to date, two of which have been in Group 3 events, the latest over six furlongs where she won a head. She sat just behind the leaders that day and then struck the front at the 200M pole, before courageously holding off the closing pack in the dash down to the wire. She has her peak run since returning from a 12 week rest and will have to negotiate gate fourteen, but nonetheless, the quartet of victories looms large.
SEJARDAN has won two of his last three starts, the latest a Group 2 contest over six furlongs by half a length. He came three wide into the home stretch that day, but then unleashed a powerful finish to run down the leaders close to the winning post. He has draw seven and will be having his peak outing since returning from a slightly longer 13 week spell.
SHE’S EXTREME is drawn one inside the latter and is another 2yr old filly in the race. She had her consistency rewarded with a one and a half length victory last time out over six furlongs in a Group 3 contest, notwithstanding jumping awkwardly. She seems likely to turn in another honest performance today and should be involved in the finish.
Race 9
Two 4yr old fillies could dominate the finish to this race and secure the exacta, but ISOTOPE could be the one to end up in the winner’s box. She has won two of her last three starts, the latest when victorious in the Magic Millions Sprint over six furlongs by 1.3L when returning from a 39 week absence. She faces a wide gate ten, but she is a speedy sort who should be able to work her way across without using up too much energy.
AWAY GAME is seldom far off the action, finishing second in her latest outing in a Group 1 contest over this sprint trip, just a half-length behind the winner. She gets draw six and should keep the top pick honest.
BIG PARADE is an eight-time winner who missed out on his hat-trick when finishing fourth last time out when stepping up to 1300M, just under four lengths off the winner, but the form of that race has stood up well with three runners out of that contest subsequently winning. He returns from a 20 week rest, but did finish third in his only barrier trial to prove his fitness.
Race 10
STEINEM was a short-head winner of her last start in a Group 3 event over a mile. She was slow away that day, but battled all the way down to the wire before embarking on a 16 week break. She returns here after finished second in a subsequent barrier trial and whilst draw wide in gate twelve, she should be doing her best work late and as such, she is made the value bet on the day’s card.
MALLORY has finished closer to the winner in each of her last three runs, the latest when second over 1100M, just 1.3L adrift of the victor. She was making good late progress that day and if she has continued down that same path of improvement, she should be a big runner here.
IT’S ME won over this trip three runs back which complete a quartet of victories and was immediately rested for 69 weeks. Her two runs since returning have been below that level, finishing eighth last time out over five furlongs, but just over a length behind the winner. The fact that her connections have brought her back into racing after such a lengthy absence would seem to suggest that they believe that she still has something more to offer them.
