RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG ZAHARA (2) is an outstanding filly that remains undefeated in seven starts and it would be a major upset if she is to be beaten here. She progressed forward to find the lead and won with plenty in reserve in the Prelude of this series last week. JILLIBY BALLERINI (5) led out then took cover when second in the Prelude. She possesses high speed and has been placed in all of her six starts to date so she looms as a strong Quinella chance again. MAORIS MAC (4) did very well after racing without cover in her Prelude performance. There wasn’t much separating her and JILLIBY BALLERINI (5) at the end and the barrier draw is reversed this evening so she is capable of turning the tables. DREAMS OF LOVE (1) and WE CAN HAVE IT ALL (8) are both minor place hopes from their inside alleys. EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely leader), 3,4,5 RATINGS: 2/ 4,5/ 1,8
