RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LE BELLE BIJOUX (1) took on the open class pacers last week and produced an honest display in a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.5. She may be headed off at the start but this is a much easier race and she is racing well enough to figure prominently. GHOST OF TIME (6) worked extremely hard to find the lead in a first quarter of 26.9 seconds so he had excuses when resuming last week. He would have benefited from the outing and this is an easier assignment so he should give a bold showing. SURFINGMAKESCENTS (2) was resuming since November and was going into her race without a trial when a big winner over Wings On The Line at Melton two weeks ago. This is a race of more depth but she is very talented and should go well again from her good draw. FRUGAL FARE (9) was very heavily supported but broke stride 100m after the start when contesting the lead and lost his chance last outing. He boasts a good strike rate and is worth thought along with LOUIE LOU I (5), which finished off nicely first up. EARLY SPEED: 6 (likely leader), 2,4 RATINGS: 1/ 2,6/ 5,9/ 3
