RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SWEET IDEAL (9) gained a nice trail but dashed home in a brilliant final quarter of 26.9 seconds to score with ease last week. She is building up an imposing record and should continue to get better with the benefit of experience so she is worth following. GOLDEN SHOOZ (3) endured a wide trip and finished fourth behind Emily Vincent last outing. She led throughout and recorded a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.4 when she scored at Geelong three starts ago so she will take catching if she can find the lead again. DRAW A DREAM (11) couldn’t work into the race after having a wide trip in fast time last week. She is dropping back in class for this assignment and she was runner up in a mile rate of 1.53.3 on May 03 so she is worth another chance. ALWAYSBEALADY (12) has been racing well but without luck and rates as a value hope. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely leader), 2,5,6 RATINGS: 9/ 3,11/ 7,10,12/ 4,5,8,13
