RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: NO TELLING HEATHER (9) has been racing against elite opposition with her past three efforts being in the Victoria Oaks, the Gold Bracelet and in the Breeders Crown. She galloped away in the Breeders Crown Final last week but will take beating if she delivers a fool proof display against this opposition. PROHIBITED BID (8) remains an Australian maiden but she has been placed in four of her past five starts and worked home well for second behind Destrier last outing so she warrants respect. DISTANT SUN (7) finished unplaced in the Breeders Crown Final won by Valtino at Melton last outing. He will appreciate a drop back in class for this assignment and has the speed to figure in the finish. AMOUR MATERNAL (6) hasn’t raced since February 2022 but she was racing against strong opposition when she was last in work and she has been placed in two recent trial performances so she must be kept safe. EARLY SPEED: 4 (likely leader), 2,7 RATINGS: 9/ 7,8/ 6/ 4/ 2
